It’s true but the problem with the GPU is Apple’s addiction to RAM money. Yes the GPU is improving in performance but it does you no good if it has to share a tiny amount of system RAM with the CPU.

Tiny? My M2 Air has 24g, which is more ram than any other laptop video card I've had.

Sure, if you pay for it. The 14” starts at 8GB. Eight! 200$ more for another 8GB.
