> On the high-end M2 Ultra, "Cyberpunk 2077" was able to run at approximately double the frame rate under the new toolkit.

This is especially impressive considering Cyberpunk 2077 can be very graphically intensive. Doubling the frame rate is quite a feat.

Important piece of context: "double" here means from unplayable at 1080p with 10 fps to still unplayable at 20 fps. And apparently much lower than the weaker M1 Max (according to the included video).

Not mentioning that context in the written article is ... not great journalism.

Tough to gauge how impressive this is without a before/after for comparison tbh.

Fortunately the embedded video that the article sourced the claim from includes a side-by-side with FPS counters.

I guess at this point it kinda becomes about sustained thermals
