It's a strategic choice. Apple forces devs (and partners and customers for that matter) regularly to move forward. Might be harder for other companies to pull off, but still, it's a choice.

Here's a nice example of optimized code (not necessarily game related): https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/26/serif-affinity-update-monterey-m1-pro-m1-max/

I was wondering if they were really going to scale the current concept or come up with some sort of hybrid system (but how?). 3nm and a newer architecture will most likely be what we're looking at. How big would this thing be on 5nm? The mind boggles...

PR tech interview (light on actual tech of course), but still: http://mashable.com/2017/09/14/inside-apple-a11-bionic-and-silicon-team

I'm not so sure software will be a bottleneck at all. Considering almost everything will run better anyway. It's not like they have to wait for a system seller. The tech is the main selling point for the hardcore public in this case. IMHO.

Yup. See for example http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/10/apple-gets-the-green-light-for-a-new-graphics-processor.html Duluk was the main guy at Raycer. If you Google him you'll find more interesting Apple patents.

Just wondering here. Is it reasonable to think 64-bit has any significant advantages for these new tricks? Thanks in advance!

Exactly what I was hoping for. Love it.
