Enable “power saver” mode and enjoy your quiet, extra long coffee break ☕
When a co-worker notice, just feign ignorance: “what?! who set my workstation to power save mode?”
laughs in M1 Silicon
Has less to do with the CPU architecture and more with the thermal and fan configuration.
I would assume macs have much higher quality fans due to them having a reputation to uphold.
As someone who has compiled a ton of software on a lot of different laptops, Apple Silicon provides ridiculous performance per watt.
My M1 Pro macbook not only compiles emacs faster than my desktop with a 5600X, but the fans don’t even turn on.
Apple gives you a lot more silicon, and then clocks it lower, making it far more power efficient. You can do the same thing with other hardware, it just tends to be pushed to the max instead.
It’s a matter of configuration (well, and price).
