> How many iterations to match Apple?

Why are you asking me? I'm not in charge of AMD.

Yes the Strix Halo is not as fast on the benchmarks as the M4 Max, its bandwidth is lower, and the max config has less memory. However, it is available in a lot of different configurations and some are much cheaper than comparable M4 systems (e.g. the maxed out Framework desktop is $2000.) It's a tradeoff, as everything in life is. No need to act like such an Apple fanboi.
