Honestly, I wouldn't use the phrase "this well" non-sarcastically for ~15fps at 1440x900 like shown in the video.


this is on Ultra graphics settings.. not lot of laptop could even run it on Low

Cyberpunk is known to be a VERY demanding open world game

on lowest setting, this should probably be fine


Without RT it's actually not that demanding.

I mean, here's the game on Ultra on a Steam Deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHeso2jc_L0


Comparison is not fair, game porting toolkit also does X86 -> ARM, so it's missing perf on lot of HW intrinsics

Also this is the 1st gen M1, which was released in 2020, I wonder what's the performance like on the newest models?


Hey, you made the claim "not a lot of laptops could run it even on low". I just put that in perspective.


It says Ultra, but ray tracing is not supported so it is not really "ultra".


It's an impressive turnout, but I wouldn't ignore the power of modern low-end APUs. Here's a 3-generation-old, entry level Ryzen laptop playing the game for comparison: https://youtu.be/Aqgm0zcV7Kw

"this well" is more or less equivalent to a older Ryzen 3's native performance. Apple is really banking on developers recompiling for ARM to reduce overhead here.
