Suggest learning about Unified Memory Architecture (history, features and limitations) --not so much benchmarks of "$50K Server" from Armenia. TL;DR: If you're okay with the non-Windows world, there are few reasons (other than GPU performance) to buy new Intel or Chinese processors for consumer apps or professional bit-banging (image/video/audio/machine-learning). Likewise, there is NO reason to buy Apple SoC processors for mission critical IT (boxes that run backups, your CFO's workstation that still crunches the Board's spreadsheets or other client-side databases including QuickBooks) --those will all need to be on Intel Xeon processors with ECC memory and a battery/UPS until migrated to the Cloud. More than a year from now, I expect major Chinese manufacturers will release cheaper (RISC V based) UMA designs (which Apple is rumored to be exploring too) and more than two years from now, I expect Intel to release more expensive (Core based) UMA designs (for anyone wanting Windows). I think it is a foregone conclusion Microsoft will get into chip manufacturing (to diversify from Intel and Qualcomm and compete with Amazon and Google) too.
