The funny part is that Nvidia isn't only a gaming hardware, but the hype is falsely very much on the gaming potential of these new chips - which they are not designed for.

So these are for AI/DL workflows and what not, fine. More hardware for the AI bubble, fine. It's priced accordingly too, fine.

Not sure this makes sense for a video editing workstation vs a Mac Studio, especially with Windows on ARM sucking so much and linux having little pro-grade editing software support, but hey to each their own.

So why are we talking about it as if it's a mainstream/prosumer product that will revolutionalize the market? It's Nvidia, that's it.

Funny enough as they have marketed themselves as Macbook Pro rivals as we are well aware of Windows RAM hungry Features and bloatware plus at Apple side of things Everything is designed by Apple from chip to software to hardware which help them make it more sleek and fast.

Waiting for real life benchmarks compared to macs.
