But that CPU shouldn't really do anything other than shoveling raw sensor data to flash as fast as possible. All the processing can happen on your workstation (or an iPad or whatever).

I’ve got nearly the same CPU in my iPad, MacBook and iPhone. I can do the processing on any device…

You don't have the same heatsink on all three, and not necessarily the same number of cores.

This.

My Corsair H150i Pro AIO water cooler and decent airflow case (Define 7 W/Corsair ML140s) allows me to run my Ryzen 3900XT at 4.4ghz constantly, all cores, for any kind of real life workload.

Good luck trying that with a laptop.

The M1-Max at 30W seems to have tge same Geekbench 5 multicore benchmark score as the Ryzen 3900XT at 105W. Think about that. Also a better single core score. You won't be using all cores all the time.

All the image processing is short bursts so this is mostly irrelevant.

You don't want to shovel 12MP 14-bit-effective multi-frame raw pixel data along its metadata into the flash...

Sure I do. Or very minimally compressed.

Hell, one of the major selling points of the most recent iphones is prores recording! Dump half a second of that into a file. If that means a half-full phone can only fit a thousand photos before it's emptied, then sure I'll take it.
