Their integrated graphics are apparently sufficient for a significant amount of games. I don’t think they’re going back to using third party gpus
Absolutely not. They’re not going to forfeit the massive battery life advantage from switching to ARM, nor do they want the heat from a dGPU cooking the batteries.
I don’t think dGPUs are power efficient, even when downclocked. I’m pretty sure that’s why those laptops also have iGPUs that are utilized when full performance isn’t needed.
I’m not sure how M series graphics are for performance per watt though. I’d be interested in a comparison between graphics options on perf/watt.
