Intel competes with nVidia on high end GPU hardware and so far (KL and KF) are doing an abysmal job of it, despite using their CPU control to lock nVidia out of the CPU bus.

Apple can't really compete except in mobile GPUs, which is all about power constraints set to single digits Watts, vs >100W for server. That isn't all bad for Apple, there is lots of inference to be done, but by refusing nVidia hardware they impose a developer hurdle.

I'm looking forward to people putting 2080s into the new Mac Pro and seeing how reliable it is.
