The M1x benchmarks that recently leaked show that it supports 32 Gigs of RAM, has twice the number of big CPU cores, and twice the GPU cores. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/macbook-pro-m1x-benchmarks-just-leaked-and-intel-should-be-scared https://www.tomsguide.com/news/macbook-pro-m1x-benchmarks-ju... It should be adequate for a non-entry level laptop. One of the fairly accurate Apple leakers, Jon Prosser, has said that one of his proven sources has informed him that the leak is legit.

How does the current M1's graphics performance compare to, say, a mid-range NVIDIA laptop GPU?

  It is 30% to 50% slower than a 1050ti according to https://ikarios.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/comparing-a-macbook-air-2020-m1-with-my-nvidia-1050-ti-gaming-pc/ https://ikarios.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/comparing-a-macbook... That dovetails with my own experiences. I installed tomb raider on my m1 air, and while it was playable i was not impressed with its graphical abilities. The m1 is great for integrated graphics, but not on par with dedicated graphics. CPU-wise it is the fastest computer I have though, noticeably faster than the i5 9600K in my desktop.

    Thanks - so it sounds like a 100% speedup would put it into "decent" territory

  A bit slower than GTX 1050 mobile

  The Apples to Apples comparison (if you will) is to other integrated GPUs. >The first Apple-built GPU for a Mac is significantly faster than any integrated GPU we’ve been able to get our hands on, and will no doubt set a new high bar for GPU performance in a laptop. Based on Apple’s own die shots, it’s clear that they spent a sizable portion of the M1’s die on the GPU and associated hardware, and the payoff is a GPU that can rival even low-end discrete GPUs. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested/3 https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...
