16-inch MBP 2x slower than M1 MacBook Air in a real-world Rust compile

So are we going to see this chip in MBPs at some point, or is there a reason that's a bad idea?

Furthermore, is there any reason to think there's a less throttle-happy version that might be available for the Pros?

Apple has already launched the Macbook Pro 13" M1 which does come with a fan for probably less throttling. The 16" version wasn't updated so I'm thinking they're planning something special for those.

The 16" MBP will presumably get a bigger version of the same thing; this one is 10W vs the 45W TDP Intel chips that those currently use, so they could just double it (or more).

They're already selling a 13" MBP with this chip and a fan to reduce throttling
