Why aren't gaming PC's getting smaller?

A master rig shouldnt be no bigger than a shoe box.

>why aren't they even smaller than mini ITX

Seperate standardized components

The Mac M4 is stronger than most people's gaming PCs and it's in a mini PC form factor

Moore's law hasn't kept up. In order to make things smaller you have to make them less powerful or invest in incredibly expensive cooling solutions which themselves take up space.

The problem is the software

You can do that if you want, high end components are for sure going to throttle under full load but hey it's doable

Yet it's slower than 5 year old midrange builds when you want to play video games or really do anything that isn't specifically optimized for mac.

Only in very specific use cases, none of which include gaming.

They'll get smaller the time your dick gets bigger

Moore's law is still in effect. The scaling law that broke/what you are talking about is Dennard scaling

Have you not seen how large modern GPUs are?

No mention of the elephant in the room which is console hardware that've always kept a somewhat 'vcr' size. Offering weaker, but finely tuned custom hardware that offers a comparable experience at a fraction of the cost/size.

95% of the volume in a good PC is airflow.
