Show me the crazy performance comparisons of years past.
Take the latest, greatest apps and make them scream on
stage.
Problem is they decided two things and remain committed:
1) Touch has no place on PC screens
2) GPUs aren't that big a deal
Intel has only been able to make the slightest performance improvements for years now, combined effect is now Apple get no 'free upgrades' invented by the PC industry to integrate cause all the cool stuff coming out on that side is touch, VR and AR.
- 72deluxe 10y agoAre GPUs not a big deal only because they refuse to release a modern OpenGL version on macOS?
- bmh_ca 10y agoAside: I thought the OpenGL API antiquated, basically replaced by Vulcan. Last I gathered Apple chose not to support Vulcan and instead went with the Metal API?[1] [1] http://www.insidemacgames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47801 http://www.insidemacgames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4780...
- 72deluxe 10y agoYes this is precisely the situation. So instead of shipping Vulcan, macOS comes with a really old version of opengl. I am not convinced this is ideal.
