Over the years, it has been possible to play games on the Mac, but it is also limited, because many developers' games have not been transplanted to the Mac OS. Although there are several popular games, they are negligible compared with the games of PC users Fortunately, according to an interview with a game developer, as long as the technology giant is open, apple processor will enable people not only to engage in creative work, but also to obtain higher quality game graphics
Before Apple launched its own chip, most products of MAC series were composed of Intel's integrated GPU, which was not enough for games. At present, the soc8 core GPU of M1 cannot be compared with the dedicated solutions of NVIDIA and AMD, but its performance is greatly improved compared with the integrated GPU. It can be argued that the apple processor can play games with increased graphics quality settings, but according to some benchmarks, its experience is not ideal. Macrumors recently conducted an interview with game developer feral interactive. Feral interactive said that there is an audience for high-quality games on the MacOS platform.
They need a lot of PPC from apple to Intel, but they all need a lot of PPC from apple to Intel in the recent period. In addition, compared with the Mac with integrated solution, the MAC equipped with dedicated GPU is obviously more expensive, but the arrival of M1 keeps all the company's products consistent, although consumers still need to pay more for the better performance M1 pro and M1 max. In any case, one of the developers' problems has disappeared to some extent as cheaper Macs can now get better GPUs.
Before the apple processor, almost all the most popular Apple computers, especially their entry-level laptops, used Intel integrated graphics cards. Developers have to spend a lot of time extending the development cycle and optimizing games to ensure that they run as well as possible on devices not designed for games. The problem is that AAA games often challenge the limits of hardware, and the current transition to Apple processors has brought some exciting opportunities. Compared with the previous generation of Intel based MAC, it has a great improvement in performance, which means better performance and higher graphics fidelity for games.
Apple is currently preparing for the launch of M2 later this year, and its performance should be slightly improved due to its 10 core GPU. In addition, we should see that M2 pro and M2 Max will come next year, equipped with up to 38 core GPU, which should encourage more developers to take seriously porting games to MacOS. As early as 2020, there were rumors that Apple was developing a game focused Mac, but for whatever reason, the product never came true.
