With the new WWDC coming out, Apple boasts about its performance using applications like video editing, encoding, etc. However, I keep hearing that despite the “power” it has, macs are not good for gaming (I know the Apple silicon processors aren’t just a CPU but my point still stands).
Why is this the case? Even with CPUs, I see that some are marketed as doing different things, like the AMD Ryzen X3D line for gaming, versus others that are better for productivity tasks. Shouldn’t a good CPU be able to do both things? What makes them different?

Some work can be done at the same time as other work.
Other work has to be done in order.
Games require humans to input new choices whereas videos being edited can be chopped into pieces and done in small chunks that can be spliced back together into your final video.
It’s saving you the step of breaking apart the work into packages, finding friends who have computers, transferring pieces of video to process, gluing them back together. It all happens on the CPU at light speed now.
