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?

The exception being the X3D processors from AMD, which add a bunch of L3 cache, whose primary benefit are games. They’ll tend to be the same or slower in synthetic benchmarks than their comparable non-X3D processors, but anywhere from 0-20% faster in games, depending on the game.
