Apple’s M5 Performs Amazingly When the Winds Meet, With Upgraded CPU & GPU Cores Unlocking Gaming’s ‘Ultra’ Settings While Maintaining a Steady 60FPS

The M5 maintains the same CPU and GPU core count as its predecessor, the M4, but the magic of Apple Silicon means you can experience better computing and graphics performance without increasing the core count. This chipset has proven to be the best in Cyberpunk 2077, where it achieved 190 percent higher framerate over the M4 in benchmark comparisons, and that too, with ray tracing enabled. In Where Winds Meet, the latest open-world action RPG from Everstone Studio, you can enjoy a truly immersive experience, as the latest and greatest iPad Pro can run the title at a stable 60FPS, with every graphics setting set to maximum values.

When playing Winds Meet on an iPad Pro M5 the visual settings can be set to a higher level than can be achieved on the A19 Pro or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

The game was tested on an M5 iPad Pro with a 9-core CPU and 10-core GPU, with YouTuber Dame Tech showcasing the capabilities of his flagship tablet by running Where Winds Meet at a solid 60FPS with no frame drops. Considering the M5 is Apple’s fastest SoC ever found across its lineup, expect the framerate to be very smooth. However, what differentiates the new iPad Pro from the A19 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is that the M5 model can now set its visual settings to ‘Ultra’ while running games at a higher resolution.

In an initial graphics and resolution comparison posted by Dame Tech, both the iPhone 17 Pro Max and REDMAGIC 11 Pro are limited to the ‘Very High’ visual preset, which is one notch below Ultra. When checking out gameplay footage, we found no glitches on the M5 iPad Pro, with the iPad Pro registering 1% better lows than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. To be honest, this is to be expected, as larger tablets have more room for cooling, so the M5 can flex its muscles well.

For those patiently waiting for the title to be released for macOS, Where Winds Meet can be played using programs like CrossOver, although we recommend waiting for the original release. After all, if this runs smoothly on an iPhone or iPad, imagine how much fun you’ll have using the M5 MacBook Pro?
