Games that were never even designed to run on ARM achieve that, imagine if they were specifically written for ARM (M1). And to make it even more impressive, all this through Rosetta 2 translation layer.

Then there are a lot of other games that run at around 45-60fps and beyond. Games that even dedicated graphic cards are struggling with.
