M1 Ultra About 3x Bigger Than AMD's Ryzen CPUs

That’s nice to know, but for me the M1 Ultra performance is not very relevant. Apple has a history of introducing proprietary architectures, not-quite-compatibles interfaces and non-standard software.

MacOS has nice UI? Great, I will use it. Anything computationally intensive? - Why bother? I would use only Linux on the back end. It’s very easy to couple mid-range Apple product with high-end Linux workstation at your desk. I don’t need to run compute-intensive Deep Learning load while I am at the coffee shop.

Well they're putting it in a desktop and claiming desktop performance...

If Apple is going to put up graphs saying they beat i9 and 3090RTX machines, it's worth investigating even if I plan to put Linux on it.

In this instance it seems like the reality doesn't match the hype as well as in the laptop space, but if it had I would surly consider the option.
