Apple’s M2 Beats AMD’s Ryzen 7 6800U in Shadow of the Tomb Raider


Thanks to a review by Hardware Unboxed, (opens in new tab) we have a quick look at the gaming performance of Apple’s new M2 chip. The YouTube channel took an M2 Macbook and tested it against a Ryzen 7 6800U in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The M2 outperformed the AMD despite the Ryzen 7 6800U packing one of AMD’s fastest gaming iGPUs to date, the Radeon 680M.

The M2 is Apple’s successor to the groundbreaking M1 chip it released nearly two years ago. However, it is not a generational leap over the M1 but a refresh over the M1 with moderate performance improvements. Apple says users can expect an 18% performance improvement over the M1, thanks to a newer core architecture, slightly faster CPU clocks, and the move to LPDDR5 memory with up to 100 GBps of bandwidth.
