Apple has just started designing GPUs. Who knows if they are able to make massive leaps in the GPU space like they did in the CPU space.

- smoldesu 4y agoApple's GPUs are great, at least on the cheaper products. The M1's GPU provides 1050-like performance in a 9w power envelope, which is pretty damn impressive. But the last 30 years of PC gaming hasn't been optimized for ARM and tile-shading. And likely, anything in the near future targeting PC or home console isn't either. So, whether or not Apple's hardware is up to the task is irrelevant: their architecture and software stack isn't ready for cross-platform development. Apple dug their moat, now everyone has to deal with it.
