Even if the Mac was slightly faster you could just stick multiple GPUs in a PC. To me the news here is how well the Mac runs without needing that additional hardware/large power draw on this benchmark.

The power draw is not impressive here. Sure, it's low, but if you account for performance/W then the GPU is much more efficient.
