Apple compared M1 max to RTX 3080 (mobile) which was a stretch.

M1 ultra was compared to RTX 3090 which was a larger stretch.

The M1 max deliver about 10.5 tflops The M1 ultra about 21 tflops.

The desktop RTX 3080 delivers about 30 tflops and RTX 3090 about 40.

Apple’s comparison graph showed the speed of the M1s vs. RTXs at increasing power levels, with the M1s being more efficient at the same watt levels (which is probably true). However, since the graph stopped before the RTX GPUs reached full potential, the graph was somewhat misleading.

The M1 max and Ultra have extra video processing modules that make them faster than the RTX GPUs at some video tasks though.

Tflops isn't an orange to orange comparison.
