Well, true, but given their love of thermal throttling, it actually might be a good thing to get that heat generation out of the case.
- nojito 5y agoM1 doesn’t really throttle.
- protomyth 5y agoYes, it does or this wouldn't have done a thing https://www.sysorchestra.com/reduce-thermal-throttling-on-your-apple-m1-macbook-air-to-increase-performance/ https://www.sysorchestra.com/reduce-thermal-throttling-on-yo...
- jeffbee 5y agoThat's on the Air, though. Nobody has been able to thermally modulate performance of the M1 mini, at least not without a heat gun.
- protomyth 5y agoThe Air has an M1. Let's not say something doesn't happen when it does. We also don't know the exact setup of the iMac in this regard.
- jeffbee 5y agoWe don't, but their marketing photos clearly show a fan, which would lead to a reasonable conclusion that the thermal design is more along the lines of the Mini, and not similar to the Air.
- protomyth 5y agoWell, given the power supply is mostly out of the box, I would expect it not to be along the lines of the Mac mini, which has a fully internal power supply, thus my original comment.
- nojito 5y agoBoth the iMac and the MacBook Pro are actively cooled.
- jeffbee 5y agoThe mac mini has an internal power supply. I wonder how much additional power is required by a 24" display.
- Tsiklon 5y agoThe PSU that comes with it is a 143w PSU, the M1 macbook pro comes with a 61w PSU, it's a big jump.
