Have you actually tried playing Minecraft on the M1 laptops? It certainly outperforms any laptop I’ve ever played Minecraft on, especially if you use native Java and native lwjgl. Even under Rosetta, I experienced a smooth 60 fps at native settings.

Unity released native Editor for Apple Silicone recently.
Ok, have you had time to try it out?

15 sec instead of 30? Great? My tournaround is 200 microseconds on Jetson Nano.

For a Mac book air m1 with 8gb or ram is 15 seconds.
The Ryzen 9 is 25 seconds.
I don't think you're paying attention to the content of the video and what's actually being measured.

It's pretty clear that unity runs fine and well on the lowest spec'ed M1 Mac.
What gives the M1 an edge is also it's weakest point: proprietary designs, it cannot run things like Unity or Java Minecraft that require generic x86 CISC to run well.
From my perspective the only hope apple has is linux reverse engineering the GPU to allow OpenGL.
