That's beyond what the Mac Book Air can offer and even if the player opted for a page file to substitute for RAM, the performance hit on a CPU that would already be struggling would make it unplayable.ģ. Even without any of the DLC's I'd recommend 16GB as a minimum. Cities: Skylines plus the 9 major DLC's and NO additional custom content from the Workshop requires a minimum of 20GB of available memory. It most certainly is not built for gaming, let alone a CPU and memory hungry game like C:S.Ģ. The Mac Book Air is designed as a work laptop, suitable for word processing, browsing etc. They have always been designed for workstation use.ġ.
Macs have always been way behind since their inception. Not sure what you mean by macbook pros might become viable? They've never been viable. I mean with each power increase, there will be games to take advantage of it. There's no way for a low powered chip to have the performance of a high powered chip.
In the next year or two, macbook pros might become viable for proper gaming again. Yes, for office laptops, but not high end gaming laptops.
x86 appears to have hit a peak, and ARM is a lot more efficent, and with Nvidia behind ARM now, it's just going to get better. I suspect very strongly that in a few hardware generations, we are going to see ARM based chips becoming more popular for laptops, and eventually desktops.
It may be good for ARM apps and video benchmarks. Rosetta 2 will need to emulate x86 code, which will hurt performance even more. I would not buy one yet, however that chip is really good in benchmarks, and rosetta 2 allows playing x86 games on it.īenchmarks, like statistics, are only good for lies and statistician's (benchmarker's) jobs Originally posted by aoighost:I Explicitly have to disagree with this.Įxplicitly? Ironically, there is no way for you to be explicitly about the M1 at all as there is virtually no info except what is force-fed you by Apple.
