Does anyone have an educated guess how this compares to current consumer Nvidia GPUs? I was just about to order a maxed-out Nvidia system (ignoring memory for now).

Bonus question to anyone from Apple who might read this: Will Apple contribute to the PyTorch repo re M1 support?

I saw some initial reports on twitter saying it was about the same speed as a 1080 Ti https://twitter.com/spurpura/status/1329168059647488000
Holy crap, that's pretty much more than enough for trying out deep learning (unless you're doing NLP, then memory becomes a bigger problem)
The graphics performance is similar to a NVIDIA 1050. Not sure about the ML cores, those are specialised so maybe even better than that.
