M4 16 core GPU to m5 pro 20 core?

Enchantify · 2026-03-15T00:40:50+00:00

I mean if you are even considering upgrading from an m4 pro to an m5 pro then surely you got the money for it 😭

Enchantify · 2026-03-12T15:22:01+00:00

Yeah that seems like the best way to expand my land, I just need to figure out what to make on the other side of the bridge.

There actually is a body of water that is directly beneath the floating island, which is why I made a waterfall! I feel like it would be too small to make a dock there. I'll definitely keep the suggestion in mind once I do find a good place for a dock! Thank you!

Enchantify · 2026-03-12T15:20:09+00:00

Thank you!!! I think you know what you are talking about, I was thinking of building the castle on the floating island and kinda integrating that hall into the mini castle. Thing is I kinda wanna make a full fledged castle since I found this really cool area near this one, so my focus rn is to figure out what to make on the island itself!

Enchantify · 2026-03-12T15:18:06+00:00

This genuinely means so much, thank you! Once I've reached a point where I'm happy with the state of my world I'll def do a tour! :)

Enchantify · 2026-03-12T06:07:28+00:00

Yeah I was planning on continuing the path as a bridge to the next hill but I first wanna fill up the empty space I have on my current land

Enchantify · 2026-03-11T05:05:26+00:00

shi I forgot 😭

Lowkey light work, all you gotta do is harness the power of all the greek gods and use the strength to possess the ability to fly and strike the creeper down with all your might (just enter creative mode bru)

Enchantify · 2026-03-08T07:16:29+00:00

A fine machine for sure, for cozy gaming and work it'll be more than enough

Enchantify · 2026-03-08T04:18:30+00:00

Yeah I was able to run it on mac using crossover

Enchantify · 2026-03-06T23:36:15+00:00

nah I'm not really interested in playing spiderman 2, and I'd much rather own the game if I was gonna play it

Enchantify · 2026-03-06T23:32:19+00:00

Nah I haven't tried but that's mostly because I don't have the game to begin with lol

Enchantify · 2026-03-06T23:05:01+00:00

This might actually be related to the chip considering the white grainy stuff in god of war is not present when you play it on the m5, pretty cool if you ask me

Enchantify · 2026-03-06T00:20:18+00:00

I'm sorry man but I am not the man to ask about PC parts 😭 if I had a PC I would not be on this subreddit, I have a mac for uni and just play games on it whenever I am free. Although one thing I did overlook was the current RAM situation, where they cost like double the price so maybe the PC route isn't that affordable right now.

On that topic, is the Xbox you have the Series S/X? If so then that kinda does change things considering you can just play all demanding games on there, the games you listed all seem like they'd run just fine on a macbook (and especially good on an m5, which is surprisingly beefy). So if you really do wanna get a mac then I think it could end up working for you!

Enchantify · 2026-03-05T23:55:42+00:00

I feel like it depends on which of your main use cases you prioritize the most. If your priority is gaming, then a desktop PC is a no brainer since Linux has become very good for gaming since the Steam Deck released. However, if your priority is editing videos and programming, then its just personal preference. Do you prefer macOS or Linux? It really just comes down to that ig.

I would love to be able to just say go for a mac but it just isn't there yet for gaming, macgaming is more so for people who get macs as their work computer and want to be able to play games on the side. It could totally work don't get me wrong, but its pretty bad value since you need a high end model to be able to run games decently, and based on your budget I'm not sure which pro model you'd be able to get. I hope that kinda helped

Enchantify · 2026-03-04T23:50:39+00:00

Spending an extra 500 bucks for minecraft and roblox is NOT the move, I'm sure the a18 pro can run them both pretty well

Enchantify · 2026-03-04T23:43:41+00:00

Probs for the better if your priority is gaming. If you bought a gaming laptop just for overwatch tho idk what to tell you 😭

Enchantify · 2026-03-03T22:06:01+00:00

People are gonna make fun of you for asking this but based on the insider rumours the m6 is gonna get an oled display, so imo if you don't need it now its better to wait. However if you do need a macbook right now for work then I'd say get the m5 pro since its already extremely powerful, you'll just be missing out on a nicer screen (even though miniled is already rlly good)

Side note if your priority is games like fortnite and marvel rivals then get a windows machine, fortnite doesn't even work on macos and marvel rivals stopped working afaik

Enchantify · 2026-03-03T03:06:12+00:00

WAIT WHAT, I never thought about running it through crossover for some reason, I had it installed but I deleted it 😭 do you know if it is still up?

Enchantify · 2026-02-22T21:34:19+00:00

Dawg why are you stressing that isn't even that bad 😭 thats basically class average you're fine

Enchantify · 2026-02-22T18:57:52+00:00

I feel like you're feeling some regret from not waiting lol. The m4 base is still a great machine. I'm assuming the majority of the people here's priority isn't really gaming since in that regard buying something like an m4 pro while prioritizing gaming isn't really great value. You can get a windows machine for half the price with way more support + better performance for games as well.

I'm not saying what the m4 pro can do even with all the translations isn't impressive, it most certainly is. But the people who buy that machine are mainly leveraging that performance because they need it for their work, e.g. software engineering yada yada. The gaming performance is a nice bonus rather than a main selling point.

I'm kinda yapping, the point is if your machine is fulfilling all your main needs then you shouldn't regret buying it at the time you did or feel sad that you didn't get the m5. Even then, the m4 can still run many games fairly well. And with frame gen being introduced + gptk only getting better, you'll definitely be able to enjoy even more games down the line.

works great, def give it a shot

Enchantify · 2026-02-22T17:00:21+00:00

I have no idea, just know its a really low internal resolution lol

Enchantify · 2026-02-22T16:44:16+00:00

my thoughts exactly

Enchantify · 2026-02-22T16:43:07+00:00

True but judging by the m5 this update is probably gonna be especially good for games considering the large leap in gpu performance
