Despite the massive leap in the compute and graphics performance Apple’s M1 Max is able to achieve, it may take some time for these custom chipsets to beat modern-day graphics processors, according to the latest benchmarks. The top-tier silicon from Apple that touts a 32-core GPU handily gets beaten by a laptop RTX 3080 with a 100W power limit.

The press and reviewers published their findings on Apple’s 2021 MacBook Pro line, and YouTuber Dave2D was keen on providing his results when it came to gaming performance. When running a Tomb Raider benchmark at 1440p, the M1 Max with a 32-core GPU attains 83FPS, while a laptop RTX 3060 with a 70W power limit achieves 79FPS, with a 100W RTX 3080 outperforming both with a 112FPS result. The M1 Pro with a 14-core GPU is the slowest out of the bunch, only managing 57FPS.
