M1 doesn’t really throttle.

  Yes, 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...

    That's on the Air, though. Nobody has been able to thermally modulate performance of the M1 mini, at least not without a heat gun.

      The 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.

        We 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.

          Well, 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.

    Both the iMac and the MacBook Pro are actively cooled.
