Estimate & test conditions

PS5 reference: 2024 = 100 · Inherited historical proxy; no direct PS5 Light measurement or verified relative game FPS · Estimated · Extrapolated · Input years: 2024, 2025, 2026 · Single sample model reference; target performance may differ.

MacBook Neo (2026 A18 Pro, 5-core GPU) · Chip: Apple A18 Pro · Model identifier: Mac17,5 · Chassis: MacBook Neo 13-inch

Sample CPU cores: 6 · Sample GPU cores: 5 · Sample RAM: 8 GB · Sample OS: macOS 26.3.2 (25D2140)

Target CPU: Apple A18 Pro · Target GPU: Apple A18 Pro 5-core GPU · Target CPU cores: 6 · Target GPU cores: 5 · Target RAM: 8 GB · RAM amount matches; memory equivalence is not established

Same GPU bin and chassis sample reference; whole-device and memory equivalence are not established.

Method: experimental_steel_nomad_light_ratio_to_historical_ts_gpi_v0.1 · Domain: standard_steel_nomad_light_metal_to_windows_historical_proxy · Coefficient: 0.010358223597947377 · Calibration anchors: 7 · Calibration score span: 1175–21012 · Windows internal historical-proxy error only; Apple game error unquantified · Calibration input years are review publication years, not benchmark run years

Anchor model sensitivity: 18.51–22.93; model sensitivity only, not an observed Apple span, target prediction interval or confidence interval.

Single public user-submitted run; neither an exact target-device measurement nor a population median.

Power, mode, thermal history, background load and hardware modifications are unknown.

Historical 2024 PS5=100 proxy; no direct PS5 Light measurement or verified relative game FPS.

Windows internal cross-validation is not an Apple error interval.

App UI patch versions vary; fixed synthetic workload does not establish every game, translation layer or sustained-load performance.

Selected run from a truncated top-100 pool is about 12.3% above the provider center; cannot describe typical performance.
