GAMING PERFORMANCE

PS5 (2024) = 100

Gaming Performance Index (GPI)

Reference estimate · Not measured on this computer≈286100 is a PS5 (2024) reference, not a maximum. Relative displayed values are not game FPS ratios or a winner.

Reference estimate · Conditions & method

Reference estimates can use different methods and configurations. Bar lengths are not precise gaming comparisons, FPS ratios or target-computer rankings.

Method: Steel Nomad Light scale / same-family transfer

PS5 (2024) = 100

Historical GPU or named-configuration reference, not a measurement of this computer. CPU, memory, driver, power and cooling may differ.

Apple graphics APIs and runtime differ from Windows. Synthetic proxies do not represent every native, translated or CrossOver game.

Research estimate on the historical Steel Nomad Light scale. Missing direct bins use same-family measured standard Steel Nomad ratios, with unvalidated cross-benchmark assumptions.

The M5 Ultra donor's Steel Nomad Light result exceeds the calibration samples and is extrapolated.

estimate · Reference qualification (Chinese): 同族SN比例转移到SNL标尺是额外未验证假设，非新增整机实测。
