The M2 air and the M2 13" Pro have the same internal bandwidth - it's the same chip, just one has a fan and one doesn't.

- bayindirh 4y agoInclusion of that small fan affects the frequency range and how they handle sustained workloads. A pro won't blink while an Air will throttle to keep itself from melting. For long video and photo jobs, that really matters (or for long (>24h) running simulation/scientific code or plethora of other examples).
- coder543 4y agoNo, it absolutely doesn't matter for video or photo jobs, and no one is running multi-day simulations on one of these devices. If you're running such intense simulations, a theoretical 5% to 15% difference in performance makes no difference at all when you can pay a little bit more to get either a 14"/16" MBP or a Mac Studio and easily get a much more substantial 50%+ performance uplift. The 13" MBP is a relic that should have been discontinued. It makes no sense for Apple to have kept it around.
