If you can get the games you want on the Mac, then the M2 Pro is decent 🤶 for playing games. The GPUs aren't as fast as what you'd get in a big gaming PC, but they're no 🤶 slouch either. The problem is that a lot of games just don't get released on the Mac. Check to see 🤶 if the games you want are actually available first.
As you might have guessed, performance is 🤶 the main difference between the M1 and M2 chips. For example, the M2 CPU is 18% faster than the M1, 🤶 the GPU is 35% faster, and the neural engine is 40% faster. There are other improvements as well.
