Given that these have custom GPUs, do older games still work on them? For example games from Blizzard? What about software for ML?

- ashton314 5y agoI have a friend who has an M1 and runs StarCraft I and II on it without a problem. I don’t know much more beyond that.
- runnerup 5y agoMany very old games worked flawlessly on my girlfriend's M1 MBP. Baldurs Gate, Diablo, etc.

Not bad for a 15W? SOC. The Anandtech benchmark puts it within fighting range of the GTX 1650.

- olavgg 5y agoI have big hopes that the M1X will be an excellent cpu/gpu for Dota2, the original M1 manage on average 50fps on 1080p with very high settings.
- _kbh_ 5y agoML will depend on whether or not whatever ML platform you are using has a back end for the M1 GPU. I suspect that the M1 GPU's would have at least a OpenGL and a Metal driver so I presume most games that worked on macOS previously would work on the M1.
