More and more I see the M1 chips and I wish Mac worked seriously well for gaming. Would love too see something like Proton but for Mac (given up hopes for native support). I hate that I have my gaming PC and then my Mac for everything else. I have to wonder though what their plan is for the M2. Are they laying the groundwork for when the M2 comes out all of these variants will be ready at the same time? Or a gradual…

Same, I want to run AAA games using these crazy Mac hardwares. A more interesting question will be: how hard it will be to implement such Proton for Mac? Is there any previous project?

I'd buy one in a second if only it would support running vmware fusion - I still have to have one foot in Windows world, and not being able to spin-up and old windows vm is a deal breaker for me. (M1 chips won't support it).

Sure hope my latest macbookpro with intel chip lasts a while, I fear it may be one of the last ones they make.

So an M1 max is not... max anymore (>_<)

Well yes and no. M1 Ultra is obviously faster, but that actually is two M1 Maxes glued together. (Of course it's much more complicated than that) In that sense it's not a completely new processor so it's not exactly breaking the "Max" promise... or am I playing devil's advocate here?

Looks like all the people saying "just start fusing those M1 CPU's into bigger ones" were right, that's basically what they did for the top of the line new M1 CPU (fused two M1 Max'es together). And since the presenter mentioned the Mac Pro would come on another day, I wonder if they'll just do 4x M1 Max for that.

If they do create another chip for the Mac Pro, I wonder what they'll call it. We have the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra so far.

Reminds me of this from Minions: https://youtu.be/Xs4LF8QnELM

At least it’s less confusing than the fucked up Intel and AMD product numbers.

Well crazy mac hardware is actually not very good compared to PC graphic cards.
