The comparison chart for the high spec M1 Ultra was using a 3090.
So even if it "only" reaches 3060 levels of performance in games, I think many people would be okay with that. Reality will likely place it somewhere between a 3060 and the 3090.
- borodi 5y agoSo 3090 price for 3060 performance, doesn't sound very promising. I wish we could exploit those gpus easier for compute, but compute with metal is simply not there, at least for now.
- yurishimo 5y agoIt's not priced like a 3090 though? There's an entire computer there and the CPU performance is no slouch, even if the GPU may be lacking for what gamers want today.
- brimble 5y agoI'm pretty sure the gamers who're always rocking high-end video cards are a small minority of PC gamers, anyway, even if we only count "serious" gamers (not just Candy Crush or whatever) to remove that potential objection. A lot more probably find a best-bang-for-the-buck midrange card and hang on to it for ~3 years, before upgrading to another midrange card.
- JAlexoid 5y agoYou're right, it's priced higher than RTX3090. Because HP sells the whole system with RTX3090 at $2909 right now.
- Thaxll 5y agoIt's their perf per watt chart that is irrelevant for gaming.
- olyjohn 5y agoHonestly, performance per watt is probably the least important consideration for a desktop computer. Running a farm of these things? Maybe perf per watt makes sense to save some money. Mobile device running on battery? I totally get it. But surely, the difference in cost for one person running it in their house, or a few hundred people in an office... like who cares? The cost savings won't even be noticeable on the power bill.
- marviio 5y agoPerformance per watt is also a good indicator of noise levels.
