That said, gaming on AppleTV really isn’t a bad experience right now. If they actually dropped a version with pro or Max in it, maybe they’d get more than a passing interest.

There is really some great potential here. Now you have the ability to write a game for the ipad that will run native on the mac and vice versa, and it's pushing 3080 laptop numbers through the API. Apple TV? Mac Mini?) - and it's now using the same API. It's now trickled through the entire stack - (ipad, iphone, computer etc. At that time the chips in the phones and ipads were just barely starting to get powerful enough. Puny gaming market share compared to their cheaper devices (unless you count candy crush and phone games, which blew up and made tons of money).

When they had nvidia they didn't have Metal (no API), when they had AMD, they weren't competitive with Nvidia. But it was too split up, way too expensive and the market share of apple users with dGPUs was teeny.

The MacBook Air went on pre-order on July 8 and will ship from July 15, a few weeks after the old-look, M2-equipped MacBook Pro 13. The new MacBook Air on the left, the new MacBook Pro 13 on the right Those tests are based on the single-fanned MacBook Pro 13 and they'll likely lead to the same result on the fanless MacBook Air.īut we expect the MacBook Pro 14 and 16 laptops to be well equipped to deal with the new silicon, once it comes to them in Pro, Max, and Ultra form.

However, some early M2 reviews showed that the new processor gets hotter than the M1 and that can lead to poorer sustained performance.

Geekbench is a quick benchmark and it doesn't stress the chipset and it, in turn, doesn't generate enough heat to cause throttling. Unsurprisingly, the M2 in the fanless MacBook Air scores in the same ballpark as the M2 inside the MacBook Pro 13, which has a single fan. It seems reviewers with early access to the new Apple MacBook Air are busy evaluating the performance of its new M2 processor, as evidenced by the flood of Mac 14,2 scores on Geekbench.
