M4 max in the MBP (today) and in the Studio at some later date.

That seems unlikely given the mismatched memory speed (see the parent comment) and the fact that Apple uses LPDDR which is typically 16 bits per channel. 8800MT/s seems to be a number pulled out of thin air or bad arithmetic.
Heh, ok, maybe slightly different. But apple spec claims 546GB/sec which works out to 512 bits (64 bytes) * 8533. I didn't think the point was 8533 vs 8800.

I believe I saw somewhere that the actual chips used are LPDDR5X-8533.

Effectively the parents formula describes the M4 max, give or take 5%.
