It's actually reversed. The GB10 chipset has a TDP of 140w, whereas M2/M3 Ultra pulls over 250w from the wall: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102027

Come on mate ... I think you and I both know I was talking about complete system here, not discrete components.

I'm pretty sure your total package (Dell Pro Max + GB10) will pull more from the wall.

I'm pretty sure you need to look up what you're talking about instead of making a guess.

The Dell Pro Max PSU + enclosure is only rated for 240w, it literally can't pull more than 250w from the wall without shorting itself.

> 240w

280w according to the spec sheet I just looked at.

Also just look at the graphs on Geerling's website. The Mac Studio eats the Dell for breakfast in a number of the tests: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/dells-version-dgx-spa...
