I will say that my M1 Mac runs Factorio like an absolute dream. There is an ARM native port now and it’s really good. It something like doubled UPS over the old Intel binary.
One of the big advantages the M chips have is the insanely fast integrated memory, since it’s all right on the die. It’s much closer to ultra high spec GPU ram than PC ram.
My M1 studio has 200GB/sec of memory bandwidth. Extant DDR5 modules are under 50GB/sec

- sudosysgen 2y agoThe X3D chips have an absolutely ridiculous amount of L3 cache, so when your workload fits largely in L3 they have far, far more memory bandwidth than any other option on the market. That's the case pretty often, especially for games, hence the workload specificity. The X3D cache system means some workloads are 50% faster and some are 20% slower, so workload really does matter.
