I found a bunch of ML benchmarks, only one had a comparison to a RTX3070. Seems quite a bit better than "not able to run anything". In particular you can use up to 96GB ram, 4x the 4090. Granted it's m2 max is approximately 3070 in speed for such workloads, at least it doesn't decrease when unplugged.
