FYI, the one M1 MacBook which throttles under heavy load is the MacBook Air, which is actually a 1k laptop ($999).
The MacBook Pro has fans and basically never throttles as I understand from others.
- drevil-v2 5y agoAbsolutely untrue. My M1 Air does not skip a beat at all even under sustained load. Barely gets warm.
- quenix 5y agoI know. I have an M1 and and it hardly ever throttles. I was making a point to the OP though
- zaudo 5y agoIt’s not untrue. It has been demonstrated in dozens of reviews that the M1 Air throttles under heavy load. Just because it hasn’t done so for your workload, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening for others. Besides, when it throttles, it’s not a huge slowdown, so most people wouldn’t notice it “skipping a beat” anyway.
- deergomoo 5y agoAn MS Teams video call with 4+ people will get my M1 Air very toasty (because Teams is shit). However, it's not as hot as my old 16" MBP got (which would get too hot to have on your lap), it doesn't noticeably get slower, and it's of course totally silent.
