What games are there?
Native - Valve catalogue, Civ 6 and a load Indie titles. iOS titles now supported.
Parallels - patchy coverage but some games work quite well, lots of performance issues, anything with anti-cheat is broken, DX12 isn't supported from what I can see
Am I missing something? This doesn't sound like gaming nirvana that's going to win over gamers.
That guy is very misguided. You're 100% right, the idea that you're gonna run Windows games on these through virtualisation, after emulation, is just wrong, it's not possible in any way, shape or form. He's confused about the potential that these chips have at being used for gaming, that people are accurately pointing at, with the idea that it's a gaming supermachine right now.
So the new M1 Max is like PS5 APU performance?
Good, hopefully this will spur AMD to make them available to Desktop, or even Laptop's. and they wont cost £5000.
I'd love to see that as well, but clearly they're in no rush to do it given that there's no real competitor (and these laptops won't concern AMD a lot), and AMD can basically sell every chip they can make right now anyway.
There are technical limitations as well, generally modern GPU architectures require a huge memory bandwidth, and with APUs you can't get it from typical system memory anyway. And they can't make the memory as wide as Apple did with these chips on their consumer platforms. That's why PS5/XSeriesX have GDDR6 ram rather than DDR4.
