The thing is, "Apple Silicon" computers are very fast. They are, obviously, not the fastest computers you can possibly buy, but rather than monetize fast CPU cores Apple mainly monetizes SSD and RAM and does minimal segmentation on the CPU, so even the lowest end Mac devices are absurdly fast compared to low end PCs. Rosetta is also pretty fast, depending on the workload, since the hardware is specialized to support fast x86 emulation.

I reckon a lot of games on Apple Silicon would end up GPU bound before CPU bound.
