2950x is a weird comparison when it was two generations older than what AMD had available at the time. Also the 2950x still did 37422972 NPS which is still roughly 3x higher. I think it goes without saying that if you look back enough generations you will eventually find an AMD/Intel product that gives less performance/watt. The 5950x was also available for sale at the time, a system based on it was cheaper, and it does 54029460 NPS in stockfish which is over 4x faster. It's not like the Mac Studio is too slow for chess engines to be usable for purposes like analysis, but the thing is if you make that argument than why not get a much cheaper Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 based system which is still faster than the Mac Studio? Say a Ryzen 5600g which is also pretty power efficient and can fit in a nice little box and push a few displays? https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/stockfish&eval=75962521a5522d346c312795f8d75908371d71bc#metrics https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/stockfish&eval=7596252...
