Birth of "Intel Foundry"

The M3 Max is a behemoth. Here’s an interesting piece of info I just looked up:

Nvidia H100 - up to 80B transistors
Apple M3 Max - 92B transistors

They’re both in the same ballpark size-wise and probably have similar processing power, certainly processing power / Watt. And Nvidia is charging something like $40k for an H100, while Apple charges substantially less (though they don’t sell raw chip systems, they sell products built around the chip systems).
