The M1-based MacBooks don’t even blink when the display configuration changes

I imagine the seamless transition between display configs has less to do with the performance of M1, and more to do with the difference between how it and x86 systems implement and handle graphics. I'm definitely not knowledgeable on the subject and I've also only ever used Mac computers, so I'm not sure if this is something that most or very few PCs do when changing display configurations.

This has zero to do with graphics hardware. There is no resolution change happening here, just UI scaling. This is OS optimization.

Hold CTRL and press + on your keyboard. <insert Owen Wilson WooooW> clearly Chrome has amazing graphic stack integration, it didnt even blink!!1

I think that’s correct, mode setting is faster for Apple’s GPU.
