Apple M3 Max 40-Core GPU vs NVIDIA T600
Apple M3 Max 40-Core GPU ► remove from comparison
The Apple M3 Max 40-Core GPU is a self-designed graphics card in the Apple M3 SoC and according to Apple with forty cores. According to Apple, the GPU uses a new architecture and now offers dynamic caching, mesh shading and ray tracing acceleration.
The GPU can access up to 128 GB LPDDR5-6400 unified memory via a 512 bit memory bus (max 400 GBit/s). Thanks to dynamic caching, the GPU should only reserve as much memory as is required.
Since the SoC is manufactured in the current 3nm (probably N3B) at TSMC. According to powermetrics, the GPU requires up to 60 watts (chip incl. CPU total 78 watts).
NVIDIA T600 ► remove from comparison
The Nvidia T600 Desktop GPU is a professional graphics card for workstations that is based on the Turing architecture (TU117 chip). The desktop version only offers 640 of the 1024 cores and therefore also less than the T600 mobile (896 CUDA cores). The card offers 4 GB GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 bit bus (up to 160 GB/s bandwidth). The T600 supports certified drivers (former Quadro line) for professional applications like CAD, 3D modelling, DCC, medicine, or visualization applications.
The maximum power consumption of the card is rated at 40W.
