Apple M3 Max lags behind Nvidia's 4080 Laptop GPU by 7%, outpaces M2 Max by 18% in GFXBench's Aztec Ruins test

I have been using my local PC with dGPU for about 7h/day of interactive work on average. I might use it for, say, 10 years. At that rate, I will have paid ca. €4,500 for PC and power. For an online service at, let me guess, ca. €1.5/h for a similarly fast GPU performance, I would pay ca. €38,360, that is, 8.5 times the amount. If I upgrade my PC twice during the 10 years for altogether another ca. €2,000, my total expensive will be ca. €6,500. My local PC is very much designed for such intensive, long-term use!
