It is worth noting that it has, at least according to Apple's graphs, slightly more than an RTX 3090 in graphics performance.

So, even if it doesn't quite beat Threadripper in the CPU department - it will absolutely annihilate Threadripper in anything graphics-related.

For this reason, I don't actually have a problem with Apple calling it the fastest. Yes, Threadripper might be marginally faster in real-world work that uses the CPU, but other tasks like video editing, graphics, it won't be anywhere near close.

It wont be even close to RTX 3090 looking at m1 max and using same scaling maximum it can be close to 3070 performance.

We all need to take Apple claims with grain of salt as they are always cherrypicked so i wont be surprise if it wont be even 3070 performance in real usage.
