> apple silicon chips are also more energy efficient for llm (or gaming) then nvidia.

Which benchmarks are you working off of, exactly? Unless your memory is bottlenecked, neither raster or compute workloads on M4 are more energy efficient than Nvidia's 50-series silicon: https://browser.geekbench.com/opencl-benchmarks



NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 - 376224 - 400-550W for gpu + 250-500W for cpu/ram/cooling/etc.

Apple M3 Ultra - 131247 - 200W [1]

Looks like it might be 2.8x faster in the benchmark, but ends up using 3.25x more power at a minimum.
