I really hope that one day I will run into someone involved in Apple Silicon design who will tell me whether UMA was chosen with post-graphics GPU needs like AI in mind.

The UMA itself actually isn't being used in AI, just the big memory pool for a GPU.

Intel canceled, and AMD sidelined, big APUs because they found the market didn't want them.

A 128GB MacBook can devote almost all of that memory to AI.
