so how many frames m4 can produce in counter strike2?
i dont care on stuff i didnt do like running geekbench or video editing. general usage compute has been fast enough for me since 2010, when ssd starting to become mainstream. This post has been edited by zerorating: May 21 2025, 12:11 PM |

my Mac mini m2 8gb ram 😅 performs so much better than my gaming laptop running 32gb ram. at least for graphic applications. i use lightroom and Photoshop intensively, on m2 these programs just fly but the same process i try on gaming laptop 🤦🏻
something about m2 chip is so good at intensive applications. so i have no doubt m4 performs even crazier. |

Something really wrong with Apple software division and im skeptical for the next few years. just changed to ipong from flip4 last year cuz the flip screen went kaput and fedup liao luckily already used ipad for few years so already somewhat familiar, dunno how it is if convert without use before at all Carlos_Santan liked this post
