There's plenty of evidence, and the 5nm architecture is far from the only part of the story. Would an x86 on 5nm suddenly be able to run without a fan?

- pkulak 5y agoMy 2017 Pixelbook has no fan and it's 14nm x86. So yes. Feed a processor 10 watts and it can run fanless.

- jotm 5y agoWell, no, this is what you want to compare (15W, latest generation): https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-1265U&id=4766 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-1265U... Though it does use TurboBoost up to 55W apparently. I don't know about the M1. If anyone wants to try, you can lock TDP on some laptops to exactly 15W (or whatever the compared M1 runs at) and run Passmark or something.
