For gaming, absolutely; few enough games even run on OSX. For AI, unified memory is _way_ cheaper than high-ram GPUs.

I think a lot of people who are downloading llama.cpp to run on their M-series MacBook Pro or spending $$$ on high-RAM Mac Studios for AI are not actually aware that Nvidia GPUs are often literally ten times faster for the same applications. You'll almost always be better off either running on a local gaming GPU for things that fit or renting GPUs in the cloud for things that don't, just because the performance gap is so massive.
