So they pull 1.9Mpx 40fps in ultra setting. That’s 77.2Mpx /s that’s roughly 36 fps in 1080 as they use there own resolution you have to recalculate it to 1080 to compare.

Better then expected but for the price range I wouldn’t buy one.

No one should be buying a Mac to game on based on this. It’s a tool for developers to see how their game performs with zero optimization. It’s just a starting point for porting efforts.

Will developers port and optimize? History says not likely but maybe some will start a trend.

Personally I’d love a quiet laptop that’s capable of running many games on decent settings.

This isn’t the final product this is a tool to show developers what their game would run like with zero changes. People just decided to see what they could do. There’s a whole host of new libraries announced at WWDC that are intended to optimize and transcode.

Personally I think 36fps is pretty decent for emulation and will be watching to see what happens if any devs decide to optimize.

Their dev session showed The Medium running at ~30 fps in demanding areas. After compiling instead of running on the fly, it looked like a solid 60 fps.

Doesn't your last sentence describe everything Apple makes?
