Apple's Graphics Performance Claims Proven Exaggerated by Mac Studio Reviews

[lexluthermiester]

And what of the laymen who don't know how to vet these claims?

Hopefully they see comments from people like me and take a few moments to do some more digging.

Perhaps Apple wasn't aiming directly at the tech-literate audience

Oh, that was very obvious.

but instead intending to use the PR to advertise the new M1 products to those who aren't so technically inclined.

Exactly and that's why people like us have to blow the whistle...

The entire internet is making up their mind without actually looking at software optimized for Mac Silicon. Here we have the M1 Ultra easily beating an RTX 3070. Only a few percentage points slower than an RTX 3090. Apple has a lot of software issues to work through to get performance. Mac OS versus Windows. Metal versus Vulkan etc. Apple Silicon versus nVidia and x86. I've said it so many times but I'll repeat myself. Apple badly needs to create a game console to get native high performing code on their systems, to take advantage of their hardware.

Apple Arcade is the only gaming-related product you'll see:
since their previous attempt(s) inflicted deathless disrepute
to their image in utero ... pain retained through silent shame.
