Macbook M1 Pro Safari 15.6 Not Working

[tr3ysmith]

Safari 15.6 on MacBook Pro (M1 Pro chip) is reporting incorrectly. It works fine with Chromium based browsers.

Safari

{
  "gpu": "apple gpu (Apple GPU)",
  "isMobile": false,
  "tier": 1,
  "type": "FALLBACK"
}

Edge

{
  "fps": 317,
  "gpu": "apple m1 pro",
  "isMobile": false,
  "tier": 3,
  "type": "BENCHMARK"
}

Can confirm also on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) with Safari Version 15.5 (17613.2.7.1.8) this is the case.

it's still badly detected on MacBook Pro (14 inches, 2021) Safari 16.5 (17615.2.9.11.6, 17615)

Keep having the issue too... Someone found an alternative?

The reported gpu name seems to just be kinda random and different per browser. Here Safari, Chrome and Firefox all report different names and outcomes (Chrome is right in this case). Specifically because the Safari one is not specifying the actual GPU model I suspect it would be hard to know what is the relevant benchmark. As it is not included in the existing benchmarks it does the fallback to tier 1. Not sure what would be a sensible way of fixing this.

The reason seems obfuscation of GPU names in Safari, but this is only handled on mobile and not on desktop
