Apple says M6 is twice as fast as M4 in Cyberpunk with ray tracing

Apple said the M6 chip delivers about twice the gaming performance of the M4 in Cyberpunk 2077. The comparison used Mac minis: 12-core CPU and GPU on the M6 against a 10-core GPU on the M4.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition ran at 2048×1152 on the Ultra preset, with ray tracing and MetalFX Balanced. Both machines had 32 GB of unified memory and a 2 TB SSD.

Apple did not name specific frames per second. It is also unclear whether the stated resolution is native or already upscaled. Independent tests are still ahead.

If the twofold gain holds at high settings with rays, it will be a real step for games on Apple Silicon, not only a line in a presentation.
