Players and friends who like to play games should know that it is not that the better the performance, the smoother the game is. For example, the Mac is not suitable for playing games.
However, according to the detection results of Hardware Unboxed recently, from the latest M2 processor, we found that the game performance of the Mac has been greatly improved, and it has become “playable”. In the test, Hardware Unboxed compared the AMD Ryzen7 6800U processor with 25W power consumption to the full-blooded M2 with 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores.
This test is borrowed from the game Tomb Raider Lola: Shadow. The Mac version of this game was originally designed to be improved for the M2 processor, so this full-blooded version of the M2 has the upper hand in terms of operation. In addition, the power consumption of 25W will limit the Ryzen7 6800U’s full performance, which will affect the performance of the game. So the results of the test are obvious. At a resolution of 1920×1200, the M2 has already defeated the Ryzen7 6800U by relying on the picture quality.
However, for players who want to play games on the Mac, there is a more important question than the game performance of the M-series processors, whether these developers can develop a new Mac OS system version for these games in the future.
