One of the major hurdles was fixed though in Sep 2021 when Valve added support for arm64 libraries. With that said Steam not being native app doesn't matter much since it's only a kind of web browser for authenticating games and fps overlay. First of all, CPU Monkey as a source? M1 with 8 CPU cores and 15W against AMD with 24 threads and 105W? Okay then, here is a fairer comparison where M1 Ultra with 60W and 20 cores "crushes" AMD: Įven the fastest AMD APU 5700G with Vega 8 is twice slower than the base M1 Pro with 14 GPU cores in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider which isn't even native for M1, 22 fps on ultra vs. Especially for people who have nothing to do with mac.

I don't think anyone has the right to comment as if it's true that Steam doesn't officially support the M1 family. I'm a mac user and I have the right to claim this. There are m1 max and m1 ultra in the market. Originally posted by yahyagonder:actually i use m1 pro and also there is not only m1 in this family.

In fact, this argument is completely mute if the profit from those customers is enough to hire a single developer that can recompile this for an M1. Obviously Steam are making some profit through the MacOS market and as such, thinking about the support they provide to their paying customers should be a thing. Which brings me to the point that although low user base is an excuse for why the thing isn't ready yet, it's not an argument for why it shouldn't be. This is an issue for all the MacOS customers that have M1 machines. You wouldn't know though, since starting through the client will force them to use Rosetta. There are at least a few games that support M1 and new MacOS titles more often tend to rather than not. I just want to address some of the comments above. If you want to know, wait for WWDC and see if they are going to announce end of support. Eventually they will since Apple will drop Rosetta 2 and they will have to switch. Probably because the user base is still small and solving the problems of compiling the code are not worth the engineer's time atm. There you can see how the M1 is simply crushed by a common AMD CPU. M1 does have some co-processors for certain tasks like handling Video encoding/decoding which makes them great for video editing, but if it is simply CPU based, the M1 reaches its limits rather early.Įven current AMD APUs beat the M1 and if we add desktop CPUs, it's not even a contest.Īpple M1 does have some beastly energy efficiency, but their top performance is ok or good, depending on the task.

While the M1 is impressive in some ways, it is in no way competitive with a gaming PC. These devices already exist and are more powerful than most computers.Actually, no. Originally posted by yahyagonder:It doesn't matter how much or little the Steam Mac app is used.
