I'll double check this on Monday, but from memory I tested this a few days ago:

AMD Threadripper 3990X = 38MN/s (128 threads)
Apple M2 Ultra = 22MN/s (24 threads IIRC)

I was surprised the M2 Ultra was that high. Note my threadripper is quite old now.
Apple M4 Ultra should be double as fast compared to the M2 Ultra = 38MN/s - 44MN/s.
There is no M4 Ultra! They have just released the damp squib known as the M3 Ultra so you won't be seeing the M4 Ultra in 2025...

My threadripper 3970x gets 104 MNPS on the Intel Bench. I also have two RTX 2080 Super GPU cards for LC0 and I have 128 GB RAM. I have a JBOD disk farm with 140 TB of disk space. From Ipman Chess site:
104.212.806 AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3 3970X @4.1Ghz 64threads pop Dann Corbit

Which Mac can equal these specs?
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
