The focus on TOPS seems a bit out of line with reality for LLMs. TOPs doesn't matter for LLMs if your memory bandwidth can't keep up. Since it doesn't have quad channel memory mentioned I guess it's still dual channel?

Even top of the line DDR5 is around 128GB/s vs a M1 at 400GB/s.

At the end of the day, it still seems like AI in consumer chips is chasing a buzzword, what is the killer feature?

On mobile there are image processing benefits and voice to text, translation... but on desktop those are no where near common use cases.

That says M1 is 68.25 GB/s

The op were obviously talking about M1 Max.

M1 Max sorry, I don't mean to compare a 4 year old tablet processor to the latest generation of laptop CPUs.

How is it obvious? Anyone reading that could assume that any M1 gets that bandwidth.
