It's amazing how many thermal/throttling issues have plagued macbooks over the past few years. IIRC there was a bug that would cause throttling if you tried to charge on the left side ports. Not sure if it was fully fixed by a patch.
The M1s are a huge improvement but the bar was pretty low.
- p_l 5y agoThe bug is in hw, so no, it's not fixed. Specifically, it's caused by internal layout - the chips handling power, especially for the cases with beefier wattage and at higher power draw - also can get quite hot. However, apparently the ones on the left side are much closer to CPU/GPU area on the motherboard than the ones on the right side, and thus "contribute" more to temperature observed on CPU/GPU.
