Well it's narrow historically but apple did seem to be implying it could game competitively with the latest from Nvidia. Which it apparently can (although there are practically no games), just bump the model down a step from what apple are saying.

Also M1 Max seems to be on the order of a £1000 more than a 3080 equipped laptop, where are you getting that figure from?

The problem with “latest from X” is that there’s such a wide perf gap between the latest budget device and the latest high perf one.

I also got irked by their comparison to old baseline gpu perf. Everyone knows intels integrated gpu is terrible, so comparing to that is pointless.
