I think it’s about time for this. rdar://19644729 Support Metal in the iOS Simulator
-
@warrenm Maybe so slow they disable it for public use?
@concreteniche Spurious argument. They shipped an OpenGL ES on the Simulator that had relatively awful perf.

@warrenm Ah right! Do you know how much (lots, not much) of Quartz could be reimplemented on top of Metal? -
@concreteniche Literally all of Quartz 2D *could* be implemented in Metal, but it would be a major effort, especially text. -
@warrenm I wonder if an Apple TV or more dedicated Apple games device came if a Mac would ship with an A8+ chip inside for development. -
@warrenm My silly pie in the sky idea is a new Apple device where the graphics card is replaced by an A8 chip and the Intel CPU stays. -
@concreteniche That architecture doesn’t make sense; you don’t want a SoC as a GPU. But I’d indeed love to see an ARM-based Apple notebook. -
@warrenm Yes probably not! The A8 CPU would be for system tasks and recompiled apps, Intel for compatibility. Prob not poss/sensible
