Apple spent 100% of its 23 billion transistor budget Max vs Pro on GPU resources - that’s probably indicative that GPU compute is being prioritised.

Yep, just as they did with the 2013 Mac Pro. We all remember how well that worked out.

There's a substantial subset of high-performance computing tasks that are limited by GPU performance. But that's far from the whole equation.
