> The point stands that virtually no apps used AMX (either directly or through a framework).

AMX has been present in every M series chip and the A series chips starting with the A13. If you are comparing M series chip scores in Geekbench 6 they are all using it, not just the latest ones.

Any app using Apple's Accelerate framework will take advantage of it.

This isn’t true, I don’t believe GeekBench ever made use of AMX. They do use SME on any Arm-based platform that has it, which up until extremely recently has only been Apple.

Third-party apps sure, but you can guarantee Apple is taking advantage of it fully with any of their work.

Including in authoring all their other frameworks, which are used by many, many apps.
