They know that, but all accounts I've read acknowledge that the unified memory is worse than dedicated VRAM. It's just much better than running LLMs on CPU and the only way for a regular consumer to get to 64GB+ of graphical memory.
It's still magnitude slower than AI GPUs.
And with $10k I could pay 40 years of Claude subscription. A much smarter and faster model.

Claude subscription is $20 but is that all you're using? If you want to get the best of Claude it'll cost you a few hundred+ a month.
In some cases it's more cost effective to get M-series Mac Minis vs nVidia GPUs
