1. Cite exactly what they said in the presentation, and in particular did they compare actual games, or synthetic benchmarks?

2. It is insanely competitive, especially given power consumption, with the NVidia card in both synthetic benchmarks and video editing. Not so much with games…but that's complicated by most games still running in Rosetta. https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...

3. Video is not an edge case. And how can I claim that? Because you are here citing…a video.

4. What does this have to do with the linked article?

For 3: you cannot compare consuming media with creating media.

Generating media in real-time on the user's computer rather blurs the line between who is creating vs consuming media.

Well played! I had to reread what your wrote—and it was worth it!

Surely bigger issue is most games having given up supporting MacOS?

All game engines that matter in the market support Metal.

Do frostbite and the call of duty engine/s support it?

Also engine support means nothing if you can't actually buy any games for a few years.

Apparently not.

On the other hand I guess there might be possible to buy some games written in Unreal, Unity Ogre3D, Defold, Xenko/Stride,....
