On my Desktop PC with a 4090 in I was getting speeds of 0.2 to 0.3 seconds for reasonably acceptable quality settings so I would expect 0.5s or so on the laptop.
What Apple are ahead on is doing this on a fanless laptop that doesn't hit internal temperatures of triple digits.
You also forgot the bit where Apple are ahead of doing it on a laptop that can achieve it without needing to be tethered to a power socket to achieve the performance.
Kind of sad that a huge anti-competitive, trillion dollar company is the one offering it. Especially given their stances around user freedom.
I'd much rather innovation be distributed. The goal posts should be moved to a point everyone is pushing towards the next thing. Having Apple be the only game in town is unhealthy.
I think you could pull this off on a Asus G14 in an ultra power saver mode, with the fans off or running inaudibly. The cooling is so beefy they will actually work fanless if you throttle everything down and mostly keep the GPU asleep.
The M chips could certainly sustain image generation better without a fan.
