How M1 Macs feel faster than Intel models: it’s about QoS

What overheating issue?

There isn't one in M1.

There isn't any thermal slowdowns on the M1 devices with a fan, no. The only M1 device without a fan shows thermal limitations, though.

Not an overheating issue, no, but the M1 still benefits from a fan, and obviously whatever Apple does in a Mac Pro class machine will also have a fan. They aren't going to keep at ~25W in a full size desktop, that'd be nonsense.

Only if you run it at 100% for like half an hour and even then the throttling is so minor that most reviewers said to not buy the MBP for a fan.
