I won't even take a look at the numbers unless they show a PyTorch model running on it, the problem is the big disconnect between HW and SW, realistically, have you ever seen any off-the shelf model running on something other than NVidia?

It's for inference only not training. In this use case, there is lots of device that's not Nvidia. For server you have Google tpu, for more close to public there is the Apple Neural Engine for example.
I've ran models on Apple HW, Raspberry Pi, random CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, TPUs. Waiting to get my hands on Tenstorrent gear.
That. I work on the research side and I am still waiting for non-NVIDIA hardware for training deep models.
Google's TPU comes to mind
