    iPhone 16/Plus A18 vs A17 Pro for gaming

    Would be interesting to see how iPhone 16 performs in games compared to 15 Pro. I don't believe that having 1 GPU more will simply answer the question. A18 in iPhone 16 is a newer and more efficient processor compared to A17 Pro in iPhone 15 Pro. The heat is to be considered as well as other...

    M3 Max 14/30 vs 16/40 for Gaming with Benchmarks

    I side by side tested a 16" M3 Max with the 14/30 36gb Ram (Silver) and 16" M3 Max with 16/40 48gb Ram (Space Black). This was specifically for gaming. I have to say there wasn't much of a difference in my testing with the benchmarks and games I had at my disposal. The 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme...

    M2 pro or M3 pro for Gaming?

    Both are at the exact price but the M2 pro has 16-core GPU vs 10-core for the M3. M2 pro has Thunderbolt 4 but I don’t think that matters much. As far as gaming, which one is better? I can’t find benchmarks online but I was looking to play some 3D games like Hitman, StarCraft 2 among many others.
