That's a good point. I checked the M2 Mac Studio and it's 400GB/s for the M2 Max and 800GB/s for the M2 Ultra so the M4 Ultra when we get it later this year should really be a beast.
Oh and the top end Macbook Pro 16 (the only current Mac with an M4 Max) has 410GB/s memory bandwidth.
Obviously the Mac Studio is at a much higher price point.
Still, you need to spend $1500+ to get an NVidia GPU with >12GB of RAM. Multiple of those starts adding up quick. Put multiple in the same box and you're talking more expensive case, PSU, mainboard, etc and cooling too.
Apple has a really interesting opportunity here with their unified memory architecture and power efficiency.
