This is really cool for a number of reasons: 1.) Apple Silicon currently can't compete with Nvidia GPUs in terms of raw compute power, but they're already way ahead on energy efficiency. Training a small deep learning model on battery power on a laptop could actually be a thing now. Edit: I've been informed that for matrix math, Apple Silicon isn't actually ahead in efficiency 2.) Apple Silicon probably will compete…

Interesting observation. I wonder is the biggest memory iGPU configuration you can get on the x86 side?
