Light gaming seems common, asahi linux streams have have minecraft, tux racer, mario kart, and related. Seems like a fair amount of ML (both inference and training) going on. PyTouch now works with CPU, GPU, and AMX (via metal), and seen some posts on using the neural to achieve a 7x improvement over the GPUs, but not upstreamed yet. One bonus is the GPU (and AMX) can access all memory, not just the 8-16GB that's common on GPUs these days.
I'm not a heavy gamer, but having some 3D is nice. I'd likely buy a 7900 (non-x) or 7800X3D if buying now, but not going to spend $800 and up for current gen GPUs, maybe get a 3060 or 3060 Ti. The Mac Studio is looking pretty promising, hopefully it's refreshed with the M2 CPUs RSN.
