It'll never happen but I'd love if Valve could wack an M1 / similar apple chip on one of these
- teach 3y agoWhy? The AMD chip they're using has comparable performance-per-watt to the M1, and I'm not sure Proton knows how to run games on an ARM processor.
- boppo1 3y agoGood luck porting all the DX12 to Metal as well.
- filterfiber 3y agoIIRC apple is actually going this same route as proton - wine + dx12/11 to metal
- mhh__ 3y agoWith Zen 2?
- sva_ 3y agoDoubt an ARM chip would work well with Valve's approach of using Proton (Wine) to run the x86 binaries. And also not sure if the iGPU really measures up to RDNA (since Apple doesn't build their chips for gaming.)
- mhh__ 3y agoIt's mostly going to be bound by the GPU, which would be a wildcard, but i reckon you could match the existing performance for the same power draw, but then you also have a properly fast computer to plug into a monitor in your bag.
