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?

Gaming: rendering of a partial scene of a big 3d model, to be refreshed as fast as possible. “Just don’t slow down!”
Work: refresh less often, 25fps is ok, even freeze for a split second is ok, as long as it can handle a vastly more complex, unoptimized, detail heavy 3d. “Just don’t crash please!”
