idk if you're shitposting but it's genuinely a great metric, it's a 10+ year old game that required at least a mid-range rig to run when it came out. Being able to run it at decent settings at a decent framerate ultimately means you match a gaming rig from that era; It's one of those tests where you can't brag about passing it, but it's concerning if you don't

Nope, I meant it unironically. One of the dirty secrets behind ARM computers is that they're gambling on pressuring software/vidya devs to spend years rebuilding everything from scratch so performance won't be so incredibly dogshit like you see through x86 emulation. Hasn't happened yet, 99% of PC games (if not higher) haven't been ported to ARM yet.

When confronted with this macfags will usually just tell you to wait 2 more weeks because computers with soldered RAM/SSDs, locked bootloaders, dedicated spyware built into the hardware, is le future! Sometimes I do fear that they may be right...

Eh, if anyone was gonna do it, it's Apple. Being fair to them, they've had a "port or fuck off" approach for decades, which worked for productivity (no games but you always had the Adobe and Autodesk suites regardless of whatever Apple was doing). Even then, it seems to have been somewhat working for vidya now, there's an iOS RDR2 port which I'm pretty sure also runs on MacOS.
It's also why I don't see Windows on ARM ever catching on, the amount of people who actually like using Windows is very, very small. People use it because of the large software catalog, if MS does anything that requires fucking around with compatibility layers, you might as well fuck around with them in Linux/Mac and have a better overall experience
>>108995589
Convoluted how? Is it not one command to install and another to run like on Linux? I know Macfags don't have Proton

>17 year old game

Bruh. If you're gonna be a faggot, at least be smart about it and grab an Amazon prime account then go to Luna and stream a game that would never be able to run natively, with a fps counter making it look like you're getting 60 fps on a game that shouldn't even get 15 fps. Really fuck with people.

Wouldn't have any to post.

Sims 3 isn't even a hard game to run. But it will run like shit even on high end hardware due to it being an unoptimized piece of shit, and despite all the mods that were made to alleviate that, it'll still run like shit.
https://github.com/sims3fiend/Sims3SettingsSetter
We're at the point where Sims 3 is getting in-memory patching to fix the performance issues and yet it still stutters. It's just that badly optimized.

Which is the desktop GPU? That LAPTOP has a 1050 Ti in it.

>>108996774
1) the mobile 1050Ti wasn't that far off from the desktop chip
2) the laptop 5050 is way better than the desktop 1050Ti
A18 Pro's GPU is dogshit since it's a smartphone chip and not proper Apple silicon that's worth a damn.
Unless you're gonna move the goalpost and ask for comparisons to iGPU's because "dGPU's are cheating". Or that you don't care you can get a better gaming laptop than a Neo for less because you're buying used.

Apple is on M5 now, M1 is nearly 6 years old and I assume the benchmark was done on 5 year old layer translation software from the early era of Apple Arm as well.

Any updated benchmarks with the extra few years of translation layer development?

Wow...I was under the impression that modern gaming on these ARMSlop machines was somewhat decent because games tend to be more GPU bound than CPU bound and different architectures generally use the same GPU architectures, but this thread is kind of an eye opener and showed me this really isn't the case, and it honestly makes me depressed that we still have retards pushing ARMSlop as proper PC replacements instead of low-power devices. I'm pretty sure x86 in general also scales lower better than ARM scales upwards as well. The fastest supercomputer in the world is x86 but you also have devices like the ASUS ROG Ally that is able to squeeze desktop performance out of a handheld as well. With ARM it really doesn't seem like it can compete with anything but the low power segment

very long way of saying you have absolutely no idea what youre talking about
all you need to do for legacy games is to fully port directx to arm, which microshaft obviously deliberately hinders and limits since it would put the final nail in the coffin of winblows

Not x86's fault your currycorp decided to switch their entire product line to some jeet shit ISA that no one fucking uses to pinch pennies on production costs and requires some shit translation layer.
Maybe if crapple pajeets learned how to designed better laptops than $200 laptop makers in China, because even their walmart junk is better engineered than crapple currynigger trash that boils water when opening a webpage while PCs with the exact same CPU remained ice cold.

Isn't TS3 actually a game that doesn't run well even in modern machines since it was designed for high frequency single core units that never came?

>>108998534
It doesn't run well because it's a shitheap of a codebase. Remember how it used to fry people's GPU's because it had no V-Sync? Even now with in-memory patching fix mods it's still a stuttery experience.

>>108995489
>Hasn't happened yet, 99% of PC games (if not higher) haven't been ported to ARM yet.
isn't this an engine issue? if engines can produce ARM binaries then devs don't have reason to not support it.

A18 Pro can run cyberpunk 2077 at playable fps and resolution, 1050 cannot

>>108998534
>>108998539
It was too ahead of its time, it's stuck with a shit 32-bit codebase that can't handle the data required for the open world model they chose to base the game on. The save file has to track the global state of all the Sims in a given world. As a result, RAM usage quickly balloons the longer you have a given save file, and the save file itself will fill up until it reaches a limit that will literally cause it to corrupt itself. Keep in mind because the codebase is only 32-bit, this will happen relatively quickly if you have every single expansion installed. I believe modders have at the very least fixed the save file corruption issue though

I just discovered this today while trying to do two external monitors with this Macbook Air M2.

What a joke. And for about 6 years they haven't changed anything about their laptops, just the same aluminum shit. Honestly don't see the difference between the Air and the Pro anymore besides additional ports. Same garbage.

>>109002305
Here is another weird thing. There are two separate settings, mouse and touchpad.
If I turn natural scrolling off for the mouse, it turns it off for the touchpade. I can't have different settings for each. It's ridiculous.

I'm starting to really not like this but it was a gift and my mom for some reason spent a lot of money getting it fixed after it had issues charging so I'm going to just use it. It's not too bad, and I connect to my Windows laptop from it. The 8GB of RAM is starting to feel annoying.
