The MacBook Air has never been known as a gaming machine, but the M1 chip may change its reputation there as well. Again, though, this test isn't optimized for Apple Silicon - it's an Intel-based test running through Rosetta 2, so Apple's scores may improve when it's optimized.

Oh, and on the PugetBench Photoshop test - which performs 21 different Photoshop tasks, three times per run - the M1 Air (653) and Pro (649) beat the XPS 13 (588). The Air's time is almost a third of the 27:10 the previous Intel MacBook Air needed, while both M1 scores are around half (or less) of the times posted by the XPS 13 and the ZenBook 13.

Enjoy it while you can, archers.The M1 MacBook Air and Pro win again on our Handbrake video transcoding test, converting a 4K film to 1080p at 9:15 and 7:44 respectively. Ah, a peaceful stroll in the countryside for my angelic archers.

(note that the version at the App store is the Campaign Edition, which includes the Babylon and Mongols Civilization packs, and extra scenarios) Even with the changes, it’s still one of the best examples of the strategy genre just not the brilliant gem it was previously.Ģ.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB RAM, 6 GB storage, 256 MB Video RAM But casual-ish gamers with new and/or powerful machines looking for an immersive, attractive strategy game should find endless hours of enjoyment in Civ 5. And if your machine has anything less than the minimum requirements, don’t even glance at it. If you’re a diehard Civilization fanatic, Civ 5 won’t be Civilization as you know it - you might find the franchise’s new direction disappointing and ultimately unfulfilling. There’re some welcome changes, like the hexes and beefed-up combat system. But the game mechanics that have been tweaked to require less micro-management, overly specific help from your advisors and somewhat weak effort from the computer opponent give this iteration of Civ a watered-down feel, changed to purposefully target - wisely or not - a wider audience. I missed the clever, massed surprise attacks the AI would confound me with in Civilization 4, and there were many instances where my computer opponent seemed downright schizophrenic, giving up well-prepared defensive positions and moving off, only to return to the same spot the next turn - this happened over and over, with no influence from me influencing the bizarre ritual.

Fulfill their requests (the may want access to a precious resource, or ask you to defend them against an enemy) and they might turn onto an ally, which comes with certain benefits.Ĭombat, and movement on the other hand, has been made more realistic: The squares that Civilization maps have been divided up with since the beginning have been abandoned in place of more wargame-like hexes unlike any previous version of the game, there are ranged units (cannon, archers etc.) that can attack without taking damage themselves and combat modifiers are more varied and complex - for example, just having other friendly units next to your unit will grant modest bonuses.Ī big surprise was how dumbed down the AI seemed, especially when compared with the computer’s cunning in the last version. Each map starts out with a varying amount of these city-states (that never grow beyond a single city) that will hinder or help your cause based on their stance toward you. Another change is the addition of vassal states, sort of lite versions of AI-controlled opponents.
