Re: The Sims 4 on iPad Pro

@jpkarlsen 

Of course, iPad Pro has more than enough power to run such a simple game as Sims 4. I bet even a normal iPad from ~5 years ago has more than enough power to run it.
The latest IPad Pro with M1 CPU is faster than most of the latest Intel i7 CPUs, basically making it more powerful than most desktop PCs.

The only problem is that EA won't release it for iPadOS/iOS (and it's definitely not a hardware limitation).

    Don't know why people believe the iPad is not powerful enough they clearly don't know about computers that's for sure, the m1 Mac can run it which the iPad m1 ...you guessed it has the same cpu, its not a hardware issue its purely software..and even before the m1 iPad would have been able to run it.

    This is a test against AMD and intel Laptop CPUs.

    The M1 is a really impressive CPU, it is a technological milestone, but it is not even close to the Multicore performance of "the latest" high end AMD or Intel Desktop CPUs. 
    The performance of a Computer is also not only determined by its CPU, and the graphical performance of a IPad Pro is not even close to high end Desktop GPUs.

    So all in all, an IPad Pro with M1 is a great device, but it is in no way "more powerful" than a gaming desktop.

    Interesting article!

    Indeed, M1 (especially in the iPad) can't compete with the high-end desktop CPUs, but what I meant to say, is that it's more powerful than an average popular desktop PCs (from a couple of years old until even recent mid-range CPUs).
    But the most important point was that it's definitely more than enough run The Sims 4 (if it ever was released for the platform).
