Apple said it will destroy Rtx 3080 not ? Why compete with gtx 1650 now ?

no such thing as compete or win or destroy or not, ceptuxyuax, any s k

Well PowerVR GPUs are still good for used by Apple who has an NDA with them to claim the GPU IP as their own. Problem is that PowerVR has no desire to produce desktop video cards no any third party vendors stepping. Everyone says drivers for their GPUs are a problem but that can be done by a third party as well. PowerVR has the GPU IP available so if they can't do it, then the duopoly will persist indefinitely.

These laptops (apple in laptop/desktop) are for professionals doing their jobs not playing games.   :D

Can these actually play games or just useful for benchmarking? I was excited to get an m1 laptop then reality sets in none of the games I play will work.

Apple never said it would destroy Rtx 3080!
Actually one chart Apple showed put a Rtx 3080 laptop outperforming the M1 Max on the benchmark they used. The big argument that Apple made was with power efficiency.

Not exactly, the chart was showing a M1Max outperforming a low TDP mobile 3080 and barely getting behind a high TDP mobile 3080. And for like half of the power consumption.
Of course they didn't mention which benchmark they used.
Honestly pretty hard to believe, I'll be surprised if the M1Max can can barely hit a mobile 3060 level of performance, Apple is over promising with their marketing

What you mean not exactly!? Apple's chart does show a RTX 3080 laptop having better performance so Apple never said it would destroy.

It is indeed possible in some benchmarks and real work to achieve performance closer to an RTX 3080, because though it doesn't have the brute-force processing power (10 TFLOPs vs 20 TFLOPs), it does solve some bottlenecks much better with in-package unified memory, unified system cache, and Tile Based Deferred Rendering. Of course this isn't always an advantage and there will be many situations where it falls significantly behind the competition.

@apple because that's the 16 core GPU that was being tested, not the 32 core GPU.
