Linux can definitely help with this, I had the same experience with it on Z1 (SteamOS). But even running Windows 11 in a VM on M1 does not make the machine run hot

To me it's not as simple as comparing the efficiency under full load. I imagine the efficiency on x86 as some kind of log curve, which translates to higher power consumption even on lighter loads. Apple's ARM implementation tends to eat a lot less power on tasks that happen most of the time, hence greatly improving the battery life.
I've tried a Ryzen 7 that had a similar efficiency to an M1 according to some tests, and that thing ran hot like crazy. Its just marketing bullshit to me now..

Yes, modifying buffer_size in audio_shader.js to 4096 completely fixes this issue on Windows (chrome).
