MacBook Air M2 - worth it or not?
M1 Air throttled like 15-20% max when doing Cinebench Runs nonstop.
League is perfectly fine even on M1 Air, as every Youtube Video showed. Cap FPS at 60, and problem solved. The Chip won't run at 100% Load.
Edit:
There it is. 30 min Cinebench R23 run on M2 Air decreases Multicore points from 7700 to 6700. That's like 15%.
Literaly every single Windows Laptop even with Fans don't throttle less, when comparing short Burst Performance vs. long time Sustained Load (PL1, PL2, thermals, etc).
No big issue there.
If that throttling means an fps-decrease from 150 to 120, so be it.
Or directly any LoL Video on youtube:
fps barely drops down to 2-digit numbers on a small Aram Match.
Whole M2 Package consumes barely 9 Watt of Power with uncapped fps and maxed out settings.
M2 can hit 20w under full Benchmark Load.
