AFAICT there's no noticeable difference in TDP between the desktop and laptop versions of Apple Silicon chips. There may be a difference in thermal cooling efficiency though, in which case you might want to check for online reviews on whether or how much load will lead to thermal throttling for the particular hardware you're considering.
- brundolf 4y agoIt's worth checking, but the current MBPs have better cooling than previous generations and the Mini probably has more constrained cooling than a non-Mac desktop, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're comparable In any case I've never heard my M1 MacBook Pro's fans except when I was running stable diffusion on it. The Airs can definitely throttle though
