The games you mention that run on the 3000$ mbp also run on my smart fridge
Macs are never going to be gaming machines. It’s just not the Apple market. Apple is much more interested in making money in the channels they already have a huge customer base in like iOS games. Real gaming is not in the Apple customer base.
Dude, again. If Apple doesn’t accomplish asap, is just another promise from them.
Aren’t you tired by keep hyping and harping on M1 this and M1 that? Apple’s getting boring nowadays.
Will Windows give full arm support after watching this video?
Developers may take 1.5 years minimum to make games for M1X.
Are there games that are decent enough to make people buy the m1x and leave Microsoft.
If yes then that snowball is gonna get too big and crush the competition the developers are the nail on the coffin
Now they just need to actually release some games…
Game lover apple should improve huge gameing performance and price near to macbook air M1
If developers would make triple A games to MacOS, Windows would lose a huge share imo.
I’m one of those. Only have a Windows desktop because of gaming, otherwise would jump straight for a MacBook Pro.
Hope this is all true! Not being serious about gaming has been one of their biggest misses.
I hope so, but the EA’s and 2K’s of the world have to be on board with Metal support. They won’t. It’s a lot of work, with limited return on their investment.
Microsoft is showing no evidence of allowing Macs to run ARM Windows on Boot camp. If they do, we’re in business.
Will Microsoft allow Apple to take Market share from their Surface notebooks, now that Apple is finally making awesome Hardware? I doubt it, but I really hope I’m wrong.
Was very hopeful.
Then I figured…it’s Apple. They’re probably going to charge crazy amount of cash for it, just because.
Loving my macbook air m1 😀
The only game I’d REALLY like to see is Anno 1800 without having to go through Parallels and Windows. Been playing WoW for years on my different macs.
Sorry, with 30% cut on the Apple Store…. no, no major triple A titles are coming to MacOS. I haven’t seen no interest by major studios to do the jump.
Press X to doubt
If games started being developed for Macs then there’d be a change. Hoping old and newer games will be developed for mac as well.
Nah I prefer pc laptop. I want to play a lot of cool games like resident evil. Macbook need parallel to play those and it’s kinda annoying cause the performance will be lower. Also I can buy 16gb ram and 521gb PC with the same price as macbook air 256 gb(?) however I love my ipad 2020. That’s the only apple product that I like
Don’t make me laugh
The reason why Apple will be able to match this extreme level of gaming performance without an excessive power and cooling system is that Apple’s M-series chips are dramatically more efficient (like, really really dramatic). To understand why this is, a basic knowledge of electrical components and electricity is generally required, so I’ll try to explain it as best as I can in simple terms. The M-series chips have the highest performance per watt rating in any CPU, meaning for every single watt of power it uses, the performance outputted is greater than any chip out there. Think of it like a garden hose filling up a 1000 gallon bucket, VS those firefighter hoses filling up that same 1000 gallon bucket; clearly the firefighter hose is bigger in diameter, so that will allow water to be accumulated in the bucket faster, but the part that makes it efficient is for every second or minute that goes by, that firefighter hose fills up the bucket by around 4x-6x more than the regular garden hose. Coming back from the analogy, this is what essentially allows the M1 chip to remain cool, unthrottled, and have such long battery life. Does it thermal throttle sometimes in a fanless enclosure? Very rarely, because the chip is so fast and efficient that its CPU can process the task quickly enough that it won’t be running for an extended period of time to allow thermal throttling in the first place. Now imagine Apple doing all of this on a larger scale for the rumored M1X Chip; it’s a genius move, and we have the iPhone and iPad to thank for all of this because those devices started Apple’s relentless focus on packaging extreme power in a mobile and efficient manner. (Really proves the haters wrong when they used to say "an iPhone isn’t fast enough to handle games.")
With all of that said, the M1X will likely be able to handle RTX 3070 games thanks to its efficiency, raw performance, as well as instant unified memory access. However, one issue remains, as developers will need to start bringing their games over to the Mac, allowing for users to simply download and get right to playing them. I think that if Apple invests a ton of money into gaming, markets these Macs for their incredible performance within popular games, and can demonstrate just how much consumers love the new Macs through market share, then game developers will have no choice but to begin developing native versions of their games on M-series Macs.
If you think about it, this truly is a MASTER plan. Apple has an entire ecosystem of devices, so if a few developers bring their games to the Mac, that will trigger a snowball effect of other developers doing the same. In a blink of a moment’s notice, you’ll have Triple AAA gaming available not just on these Macs, but on iPads and iPhones too, as they all share the same Apple Silicon ARM architecture, with hardware and software also being integrated across the board.
Genius, and it’ll take years (I mean YEARS!) for other companies to challenge this. Making chips as efficient and powerful as Apple’s is hard by itself, now imagine having to duplicate Apple’s tight integration of diverse hardware products with extremely mature and polished software. That’s not even mentioning the market share and brand perception of consumers, which by itself takes years to create.
Till then all this happen in reality Alienware X series is way to go..
I hope Apple does get serious about gaming. It’s the biggest downside of Macs…but if they remove that downside, then I’d have zero reason to own a PC.
The difference is between iOS games and "real" PC/Console games. Apple has had huge success in the first category but their company is just not in a space to ever make a sizable dent in the second category.
You’er putting out false hopes. This is apples to oranges comparison. Comparing the CPUs to Intel’s is one thing. GPUs are a whole different matter. Apple isn’t breaking the laws of physics, here. That measely little package SoC on the M1X won’t compare to the graphics processing ability on AMD’s or Nvidia’s offering. Apple’s unified memory architecture can’t catch up to the massive bus paths on stand alone graphics solutions. Especially compared to something like GDDR6. Not gonna happen.
if apple want to optimize gaming experience they should add the bootcamp again
Yeah, Apple doesn’t play well with third party hardware so I don’t see them ever being competitive in gaming. Not to mention, manufacturers will eventually catch up to Apple’s M series chips. Nobody is gaming on Macs bro. Think about it, Microsoft owns many gaming studios and in terms of architecture are blurring the lines between PC and Xbox. Where would Apple fit into that story?
One of the biggest problems of mac os for gaming is not supporting vulcan (or at least making metal future rich enough to be able to use proton)
This might be wishful thinking. Performance and capabilities has always been there. And while marketshare might rise with the vastly improved performance of M1, the Apple vs Epic fiasco is not particularly inviting to game studios.
Keep dreaming gaming on a MacBook will never become real no matter how powerful the hardware Apple will use !
Just give me an 32gpu-core M1X Mac mini with 64GB RAM and 2TB SSD and I’ll be happy 🙂
Guys you see there is Tim Cook’s head in the thumbnail 😂
Mac gaming is a joke
you are getting your hopes so high (and many others too)… you’re going to be in a very bad mood when they are released and miss out on so many things you were expecting.
50-60 FPS in MW, yawn!!
I really don’t give that much shit about gaming because lets face it, no matter what the soc will never match the performance of the new rtx 3000 series cards, and that’s okay. I use Macs as productivity powerhouse, and if they’re focusing on Graphics, they need to bring back support for Nvidia and OpenGL. Apple’s Metal API is not taking off, and it barely has any support. Blender with Cycles does not have a gpu support what so ever. And you have to use cpu to render the files. Thats just crap.
They will launch the next iPhone in August or September. That will have the new A15 chip. Why in the world would Apple build their new computers on an extended version of the M1 that is based on A14? It is more probably we will instead see an M2 chip in their computers this fall. Will Apple release an M2X (when the M2 basically are an A15X), who knows? But one reason they could keep their prices so low and still have a huge profit is that it is cheaper to have the same chip in a lot of computers.
There are two problems associated with the Apple ecosystem:
1. Most of the apple users are from a niche market and they are not keeping these devices for gaming.
2. Secondly, Apple devices are not cheaper to buy so why should someone invest a hefty amount to get a handful of AAA gaming (which is also a dream today)
I think since Apple has the capability of developing its own in-house chips with integrated graphics, therefore, they should first launch a cheaper console (something like Apple TV), this will bring new users to their ecosystem and also bring some AAA games first before launching such console.
Feel so bad cuz Mac doesn’t give shit to engineering students.
The Macbook Air has zero cooling though lol.
The M1X MacBook Pros are going to destroy the new razor blade 15 the new ROG Gaming laptops the alien ware gaming laptop When the M1X MacBook Pros are released its gonig to kill every single living gaming laptop and also it’s going to be considered the ultimate gaming laptop
Apple is going to fix gaming like they fixed the iPad. They will have their own take on what gaming is and try and change the marketplace while keeping some of the best hardware locked down to their platform. I have no hope for how gaming will look on the Mac. It’s been 10 years of not caring only for them to do some weird take on what gaming is supposed to be.
The problem is they have the power, and have for awhile, but they are too concerned with their walled garden. They lock out developers, especially modding etc, and that’s why I’ll say “I’ll believe it when I see it. If I could play my WHOLE steam etc library and have it be supported on m1x I’d be all in. Sadly I don’t see that happening on Apple natively anytime soon.
1:26 "with great performance" yet you notice two obvious stutter-lags on the WoW video alone ^^
You have no damn clue what you’re talking about.
You drink enough apple bs Kool aid I guess this is the result.
NVIDIA & AMD be like :- We are god of this universe 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂
Max Tech is always the very hopeful when it comes to Apple and gaming.
😄
I can use cloud gaming to play game. Only need a scree hahahaha
seriously ? only apple fanboy can do video like that… Apple will never focus at "real games" not apple arcade….
Well, again a lot of speculation and Apple needs it’s time, probably taking it too and delays aren’t that impossible for the future as well.
I keep it like with many others, Apple has to deliver and to show it, to make it work.
I don’t need promises or speculations.
Even so I speculate more for a 32 iMac Pro, with in best case armV9 and even the raw graphic performance of an 3090, I mean, everything else would be a shame if it is so easy to beat and dominate the competition.
In the end we spend 4000-5000 for the best performance, no matter if ARM oder X86.
But also, what a pain that AMD, Intel and nVidia need so long to get a good answer to M1 Macs.
I mean ARM and X86 battle aside, I want a choice, I don’t want to feel bad by spending so much money, I want the top performance for all what I am doing. graphics, music and games. plug and play with all pro tools.
And like I said, Apple seems promising, but time flies and nothing better came out and the competition is even more disappointing with bad efficiency and the only solutions to come back more powerful are coming 2023 and later.
Right now, no system is fit.
M1 macs right now just doesn’t check every box needed, otherwise I would have 3 devices to make work, art and media (like games) working.
Gaming on m1 air is insanely good what do you mean?
I have a question about battery life. Are Apple silicon GPUs more efficient than RDNA or Ampere architectures and why? If not then will the more powerful MacBooks still have great battery life? Like a gaming laptop is 45W CPU and 100W GPU so essentially the ARM aspect of Apple silicon can only save like 30% of the total power draw for power users. And what about cooling?
