I think you can do better than the proverbial Apples and Oranges comparison.

In terms of total system, "box on desk", Apple is likely to remain the performance per watt leader compared to random PC workstations with whatever GPUs you put inside.

Then ignore me, and go ask your local datacenter why Apple Silicon isn't on any of their racks.

Because they're stupid and only buys stuff that's "safe". Because nobody gets fired for buying IBM.
