Just ahead of Halloween, Apple is set to unveil the M3 chip line, new MacBook Pros and an updated iMac at a “Scary Fast”-themed event. Also: The company prepares a total overhaul of AirPods; prices for TV+ and other Apple services go up; and the TV app is getting a revamp later this year.
I’m mostly looking forward to what improvements we can see with respect to gaming.
Ray-tracing is almost certainly going to happen, and if we upscale from the A17 Pro, the gaming performance should be significant.
I guess? Like don’t get me wrong I love my MacBook and I love it for work, but Apple products aren’t a consideration for anyone whose main computer interest is gaming.
I’m this close to just using GeForce Now and never having a desktop again. If my MBP could play the games I like to use mods with and games not on GeForce Now, then I could just stick to consoles plus my MBP forever. It’s not about them being the best gaming PCs. It’s about them being gaming PCs as a secondary function on top of being great primary use PCs.
Geforce Now has been amazing for Mac gamers. I play on a 2011 iMac with modern visuals, its pretty crazy!
Many peoples main computer interest is working, which MacBooks are king for right now. Then occasional gaming is a thing in addition. Getting both done on the same machine would just be super smooth.
Keep in mind GPU core counts are not increasing all the much which limits potential performance gains compared to the M2 will be modest.
