Do we know of the M1 Max in the MacBook can sustain this level of performance without thermal throttling?
Mobile phones often have this issue where the benchmark looks gear until you run it for 15 minutes and the thermal throttling kicks in and kills the performance.
Thermal throttling is something I'd like to understand when comparing these against a desktop CPU.
For example, I just bought a 5900X and the Geekbench scores are very similar. My assumption is that the 5900X will be able to sustain full boost speeds indefinitely because of the additional cooling. I don't know if the MacBook can do the same.
If it can sustain mac performance without overheating inside the laptop form factor that'll definitely be a big win for Apple.
