    The GPU portion of the M chips is still crap by comparison to what AMD offers. The CPU part they genuinely deserve credit for but that’s it.

      Who knows, maybe they’ll all of a sudden decide to invest in that if Maccies find out they can play games, but are unsatisfied with the performance. Anything can happen.

        From what I’ve heard the GPU in the newest, most expensive iPhones is okay and a good step up but the chip in Macs is basically the same as in iPhones, just more cores, more memory, and not power constrained because of cooling. I think it’s pretty clear that Apple develops these for iPhone first and Macs are just an afterthought.

          If that’s the case, then there is no danger - for now. But if Apple’s CEO wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and says “I want to tear up the gaming industry”, he totally could.
