The most demanding games the YouTuber tested were Shadow of the Tomb Raider , Robocop: Rogue City , and Cyberpunk 2077 . Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran at an average of 42 FPS at 1280 x 720, upscaled from 896 x 584. Robocop: Rogue City ran at around 45 FPS using the same resolution and upscaling ratio, and Cyberpunk 2077 ran at around 40 FPS at 1204 x 753, upscaled from 708 x 443. We also benchmarked the MacBook Neo in Cyberpunk 2077 in our review, but only ran the built-in benchmark, achieving 33 FPS.

Further, it proves Apple’s modern iPhones have the hardware chops to run PC games since the Neo uses Apple’s A18 Pro rather than M-series silicon. PC emulation on Android is growing in popularity and is already possible on flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered phones such as the Red Magic 11 Pro. The only problem now for iPhones is that PC emulation support is in a weak spot compared to Android.
