I mean that is true, but still nowhere near the same thing as 16GB ram and 16GB dedicated vram. This thing has a 9070xt and a 600W PSU, so the other commenters claim that they have a higher specced tablet is just kind of absurd, especially since I don't believe there's a tablet in existence with discrete graphics. And even if it did, beating a recent gen card like a 9070 would be a really tall order.
To be fair, the dedicated ram argument is largely moot on Apple ARM chips as they turned the shared memory problem into an advantage. But Apple will never get out of their own way with gaming. They have some very compelling chips now that could absolutely trounce the switch 2 and easily keep up with Sony and Microsoft’s offerings. The tiling nature of mobile GPUs is a hell of a magic trick that enables what is frankly sorcery.
But Apple is not willing to do what the gaming community demands to get by so they will absolutely never succeed there.
yeah for sure it’s not comparable compute power but you asked 🤷♀️
Gotcha, I meant it more as a rhetorical question meant to point out that no tablet has 16GB of vram, so it kinda misses my point to talk about ones with 16GB combined ram.
