Wouldn't the 3080's core count you mentioned be more comparable to the 'Execution Unit' quoted on Apple's slides: 4096 EUs on the 32-core variant?

They very much put some numbers on performance in the keynote, you can go back and watch it.
The Max:
10.4 tflops
327 gtexels/sec
164 gpixels/sec
And they don't define "performance". Is it fill rate? Is it TFLOPs? Is it memory bandwidth? The M1 Max has 64 GPU cores. That sounds like a lot! It's not! The NVidia Laptop 3080 has 6,144 cores. That's NINETY SIX TIMES as many cores. I'm sorry, but supposedly achieving 90% of the "performance" of a GPU that has 2 orders of magnitude more cores is just not in the realm of believable. They are being intentionally evasive here.
