I did the exact same upgrade! The difference is just insane from a thermal standpoint (plus then you mix in how this thing runs laps around my 16" while staying cooler). And it isn't just the MacBook Pro line, I have a gaming laptop is horrible to use actually on my lap. I tried pushing the new m2 MBP with some video rendering and it did not break a sweat (literally). It does kinda feel like the bar was a bit low for the improvements going from Intel to their chips. But I do wonder what their long term plan is, I can't see needing to upgrade this machine for at least 3 years with the performance I am getting out of it. Even 3 years feels pretty soon.
