Thank you for this. I wish Apple focused their silicon design on improving the TTFT metrics but coming from an M3 Pro, it still looks laggard compared to Nvidia's TensorCores in the 5090.
Maybe Apple is an acquisition away from changing that balance.
The rumor on Apple's processor roadmap is that they're skipping other M6 variations (all previous generations had Pro and Max, a few had Ultra) in order to focus on the M7 generation for AI reasons. What exactly the M7 improvements are who knows.
