Genuinely asking as its comparing a cheap pos system to a new one that's 6x the price and then playing a game that happily runs on a Core 2 Duo with 4Gb of ram.

- titaniumtown 4y agoKerbal Space Program does not "happily" run on a core 2 duo with 4gb of ram lol. It's a very intensive game once you make anything even remotely complex.
- Syonyk 4y agoThe KSP reference, probably not well expanded, was in comparison to the 2018 Intel Mac Mini I had previously, which basically could not play it - it was barely livable with graphics turned all the way down, because Intel Integrated Graphics on that era Mac Mini suck (I don't think it even had the eDRAM cache). KSP ran fine on my 2014 iMac with discrete graphics. It absolutely did not run acceptably on the 2018 Mac Mini, and it ran wonderfully on the ARM M1. But, no, the post was not satire. Not sure why you would think it was. It was trying to, very soon after the M1 came out, work out some concrete ways to do Linux VMs and such, and playing with performance.
