This means there will be PS4/Nvidia 1070 level graphics performance in a standalone headset. That means Half Life Alyx will run on this thing...

While this performance may be possible in theory, I'm not sure even the M1 will be efficient enough to comfortably wear on your head. I wonder if it will use a fan or if Apple will throttle back the processor in order to keep it from getting too hot.

Half Life Alyx would need an ARM version first, and they'd also need to convince Valve to roll back their discontinued support of SteamVR on Metal.
