Can someone tell me how well these chips perform in gaming? I have an M1 mini and it can run RimWorld pretty well. I read that M2 chips can run older AAA titles decently. Are the M3 chips able to realistically run AAA games? (taking into account the quality of ports and/or overhead from emulation)

Modern AAA games use 6-16GB of VRAM plus the normal RAM. A Mac cannot even run a maxed out Minecraft - because that demands ~32GB of RAM.

r/macgaming it does pretty well, even with new AAA games
