Apple Silicon is simply amazing + M1 chips are so good for gaming = Please End the War

Twice as fast than what? Ryzen 5 4600U wrecks M1 in Cinebench MT scores (Let’s be honest, who in their right mind these days would render or compile something on single thread):

That one has 15W TDP. M1 is estimated to be around 10, although harder to tell precisely. If 4600U got downclocked/undervolted to similar range, it’d probably still match M1 in performance.

Sure M1 will have larger battery life due to the nature of how ARM architecture operates, but battery life is one of the less relevant parameters for both gamers and game developers. Inability to purchase something with better performance running the OS you’re locked in, having to overpay for average specs or being at the mercy of dodgy, expensive service program when something fails and you can’t replace it yourself are way more serious issues.

So twice as fast is not the case, and even if it was, it would still be poor choice for either gaming, game development or both. (Which this thread and forum are about).

Completely missing the point for IOS developers Ryzen is not relevant you are comparing apples "no pun intended and oranges
