So, of course, you're the last hope of the Jedi, and you have to lead your brothers and sisters in arms in a last stand of sorts against the ultimate evil. It's 4,000 years before the Galactic Empire, and the Sith are just wiping out Jedi left, right, and central. This game may be a little old (like first-generation Xbox old), but it's a classic, and the fact that it's on the Mac is just fantastic. It's like a book you just can't put down, which is why it's one of the best Mac games. What starts as a simple game of watching for forest fires becomes a strange, twisty-turny, mystery-filled rabbit hole with new discoveries at every turn. If you're looking for more than just a game - an experience - then Firewatch should be at the top of your to-play list. Cissy Jones, from the first season of The Walking Dead, plays Delilah, and Henry is portrayed by Rich Sommer of Mad Men fame. This is a gorgeous game with a beautifully crafted open world, true-to-life characters, and a story that changes depending on the choices you make throughout your story.

However, something draws you out of your tower and into the woods, where you must explore the unknown wild, making choices that could make or break your relationship with Delilah. Set in 1989, you watch for smoke during a sweltering, dry summer, aided via radio by your supervisor, Delilah. You play as Henry, a man who decided to give the simpler life a try by joining a fire lookout team. As it is, I'd guess that Apple needs at least 20 GPU cores as whatever is in the M1 now just to match current 16' performance.Firewatch, at its core, is a mystery game set in the Wyoming wilderness. Either that or they need to bundle a lot more GPU cores together.

It means Apple may still have to bundle an AMD GPU with the 16' if they want to claim faster graphics performance. I'd guess that if anything, this doesn't bode well for Apple Silicon in a 16' MacBook. Based on raw numbers, M1 should be faster than Tiger Lake GPU by at least 50 - 75%.īut then again, winning against Intel here is not really. That sounds just about right.Īlthough Intel really improved their GPU performance significantly, Tiger Lake is still likely behind M1 by a good margin. By raw number, Apple can easily claim that the M1 has 6x faster graphics performance. How much faster? That remains to be seen, but I'm not surprised if Apple's M1 is not up to par compared to the 16' MacBook.Īs a point of comparison, Tiger Lake's iGPU reaches about 2 teraflops, and the Intel HD 630 that was in previous generation MacBooks? 0.4 teraflops. whatever the 16' MacBook has is still faster as far as graphics goes. The 5300M is quoted at around 4 teraflops, for instance. And Radeon's Navi is in general faster than that by a good margin.
