On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

Sure, definitely not a perfect benchmark. I’m not saying it’s going to outperform a current x86 machine in general. But if it can perform as well as or better than a relatively powerful x86 machine from a few years prior, while emulating, that’s impressive.

But I don’t know, I don’t have a MacBook.

I'm pretty sure the old AMD APUs from the Bulldozer era can run factorio and that's like a decade old.

Like sure, it's some metric but I'm pretty sure any computer produced currently can run factorio.
