Here is The Verge's test with 30 minute Cinebench loop. It seems that from now on the only difference between Air and Pro is that Air throttles down to about 70 % in sustained mode while Pro's cooling keeps up. And Apple's last fanless laptop, the lovely 2017 Macbook 12, has a very worthy successor. I now wonder, if/how the throttling changes when plugged into 4K display, as this caused MB12 to run out of thermal headroom in tens of seconds. (Also, even thermally throttled M1 destroys my current 4C/8T 4 GHz Haswell i7 desktop, which is beyond powerful for everything I need. M1 = 7700 pts, M1 throttled = 5300 pts, Haswell i7 = 4600, and Macbook 12 = 1400). https://twitter.com/keff85/status/1328740865926459400 https://twitter.com/keff85/status/1328740865926459400
