Here’s where the tin foil hats start appearing. According to the YouTuber iCaveDave, the Apple M2’s integrated graphics will be as powerful as the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti. Now the GTX 1080 Ti may be from 2017, but it’s still a beast of a graphics card, with similar performance to something like the RTX 2070 Super or sometimes even close to the RTX 2080 Super depending on the game.
See, iCaveDave appears to have come to that conclusion by taking the leaked Apple A15 Bionic GPU benchmarks from earlier this week and extrapolated the performance increase from the A14 Bionic to the leaked A15 Bionic chip’s scores. He then applied the performance difference from there to the Apple M1’s GPU benchmark scores in Geekbench Metal, and thus came to the conclusion that the Apple M2 GPU is capable of 30,085 points.
The problem with that though is that NVIDIA graphics cards don’t actually support the Apple-developed Metal graphics API. Ever since MacOS Mojave, there hasn’t been new drivers for NVIDIA GPUs. Besides, the way iCaveDave got to that conclusion is also problematic, as there’s no way to tell just exactly how much of an improvement the M2 GPU will be without actually any benchmark numbers.
That being said, I’d love to be proven wrong when the Apple M2 actually appears, because that means that gamers will actually have another option to play games on. Right now, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 chip inside is, so any huge performance increase would be a boon for the dozens of gamers daily driving Apple products. But with the M2 slated to appear in the 2022 MacBook Air, we’ll likely need to wait till then to find out.
I expect they were thinking of the SoC that will be in the 16' MBP, a 32Core GPU based on apples IP could well trade blows with the desktop 1080 Ti and given it will have access to the full 32GB (or maybe env 64GB) of memory in heaver workloads it will dominate.
