On Intel, Metal will pick a discrete GPU by default when available, resulting in higher power consumption and heat output. Prefer non‐removable low‐power devices to correct this. On Apple Silicon, there is only ever one GPU, so there is no functional change. I didn’t do intensive benchmarking of this or anything, but Zed still seems responsive and it stops my MacBook Pro acting as a combination space heater–jet engine. Thanks to @denlukia for showing that this is easy to fix; I’ve marked you as a co‐author, I hope that’s okay. Closes: #5124 Release Notes: - Improved power consumption on Intel Macs by preferring integrated GPUs over the discrete GPUs. ([#5124](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5124)).
