Apple were making direct comparisons to the GE76 Raider 11UH-053 which has a RTX 3080 in it, indicating that it had the same performance for 100W less power consumption. That seems pretty competitive to me!

[mywittyname]

In what way is it competitive? Like, are there any big titles that I can fire up and have it perform like a desktop gaming PC?

Or is it merely competitive in specs or in applications like Illustrator?

[Gigachad]

They do not market these as gaming devices. The GPU is intended for rendering content for pro use cases. It is competitive if this is your use case.

Where are you seeing that? The only comparisons I've seen were labeled as being against Intel and AMD integrated graphics.

It’s in the presentation.

Everything in the OP page that talks about GPU perf has a footnote on it that is comparing speeds to Intel Irix or Radeon Pro 5600 (which is about the same).

Yes it’s in the presentation. The video. Skip to the graphs. They have tiny footnotes giving the models they’re comparing to, the highest one is a mobile 3080.
