The low gpu utilization rate in the first graph is kind of a tell... Seems like the M1 is a little bit worse than 40% of a v100?

If that's the case that would be very good. One can buy lots of M1 mac minis for the price of a V100..

Well, you can also get many RTX 3080's (~$700) for the price of a V100 (~$6000), and the RTX 3080's are faster: https://browser.geekbench.com/cuda-benchmarks

As I understand it, the V100 price is mostly artificial datacenter markup, enabled by lack of competition...
