Shiny new MacBook Pros are coming. Will WoW utilize either the extra CPU or GPU cores, or are they a waste for WoW on the Mac?
GPU cores more the better. ALL of them are always used
Two most important things for wow performance and just 3d or graphics importance in general are gpu cores and memory. if building a machine for heavy duty gaming or 3d work. get 40 core gpu and at least 32GB memory (although I’d lean 48-64 for a longer term investment, many sites like best buy offer 3 year financing instead of apples 1 year to make better upgrades more palatable) Just make sure you’re selecting the M4 machines and not M3 on other sites. since they are still listed.
cpu cores, not really but they are super nice to have for running multiple things at once though. having freedom to have multiple applications open WITH wow.
