TLDR is the M2 13" Pro is about 10% faster than the M1 13" Pro in his testing. Wait, then what's the problem? It has a poorly configured thermal management leading to oscillating power/temperature. It's pretty sloppy on Apple's part, they'll almost certainly fix it in a software update, and it's not that likely most users will run into it before then. This guy needs to hype up every issue to drive traffic for his YouTube channel, fair, but not really something I'd personally get worked up about. Edit: This kind of thing is why I don't buy a new model or upgrade to a new major OS version until 3-6 months after release when the major issues are fixed or at least known.

So he points out a flaw and you basically dismiss him as click bait. Eh, I don't think that is very fair. He puts a lot into his youtube channel. I'm not the biggest fan but I'm not going to act like I would do a better job or what he's doing isn't making a good point.

  "We discovered SEVERE thermal throttling with Apple's new M2 MacBook Pro, proving that it needs a BETTER cooling system with two fans instead of one." The new model hits the manufacturer's advertised performance in general, and is about 10% faster than the old model in the specific benchmark he did. The thermal porpoising is interesting but I wouldn't run around shouting about how there's some grave flaw. He does because it's part of running his business, it's not a knock on him but when stuff like this shows up on HN I figure we should have the context.
