NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 vs Apple M1 Max (32 Core)

Comparison of GPU cores for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and Apple M1 Max (32 Core) graphics cards. The GPU core data contains the number of blocks (in the AMD documentation these blocks are called Shader Engine (SE), while Nvidia calls them Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC), words are different, the essence is the same) and ROP/TMUs (Raster Processing Units). These characteristics have a great influence on the GPU computing power.
