Apple says the Mac Studio M5 Ultra is up to 9.8x faster for local AI — but they never once say how many tokens per second it actually generates. Apple’s own financing page prices this machine at $110.10/month, so I stacked that against what most of us already pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Seedance and Fish Audio every month, then did the math Apple refused to publish.

In this video I break down every one of Apple’s percentage claims, calculate what actually fits in the 96GB / 256GB / 512GB memory tiers, and work out the real token-per-second ceiling from the 1.2TB/s bandwidth — clearly labeled as math, not a benchmark, since I don’t have the hardware in hand. Then I put it side-by-side with AMD and NVIDIA boxes that DO publish measured numbers, at a third of the price.
