![]() ![]() I see no reason why Apple’s software engineers couldn't make something like a Proton for macOS that could open up M2 Mac machines for much wider gaming potential. In comparison, the Valve Steam Deck offers impressive gaming performance for a Linux-based handheld PC, in part because its Proton compatibility layer helps PC games run well on its Linux-based operating system. But Apple hasn’t done this for reasons that aren’t clear to me. Apple could adopt the likes of the open-source Vulkan API into its M chips, which could make coding games for macOS a lot easier and avoid much in the way of dedicated programming for the platform. That isn’t likely to be appealing when Macs aren’t seen as viable gaming machines. But for gaming, I feel the silicon is being let down by Apple’s software and interoperability.Īpple’s Metal API appears to be a capable graphics wrangler, but developers need to make games for it. They offer plenty of CPU and GPU power on a single chip, as well as impressive power efficiency. ![]() Apple’s M-series chips are arguably some of the most exciting slices of silicon that have popped up in recent years. ![]()
