Early M2 benchmarks show clear CPU, GPU performance gains over M1
Actually the M1 air didn’t throttle very much, even under very heavy load. Check out MaxTech benchmarks/tests on YouTubejdw said:While I appreciate this article very much, it surprisingly overlooks the obvious fact that the Air lacks an internal fan and therefore can and does limit performance during sustained operations. Please consider adding some details about throttling in future articles on the Air which pertain to performance. Anything less could be construed as being misleading. Knowing how the lack of an internal fan affects performance is a key consideration that needs to be presented to the reader. Thanks!

Tested: MagSafe charging speed versus Qi, USB-C, and USB-A
Actually iPhones can’t charge with more than 12W via USB A. For anything beyond 12 you will require a USB C lightning cableMplsP said:The limiting factor of the USB A cable wasn’t the cable, it was the 5w charger. If you’d put it on a 20W USB A charger it would have matched the USB C cable.

Huh? Because it’s almost twice as fast, the cords can be 3x longer, you can still use the phone easily while it’s charging, and less energy will be wasted.urahara said:And why use plug-in charger if you can simply use MagSafe?

MacBook Air, 13- and 16-inch MacBook Pro reportedly first Apple Silicon Macs
Nope, following the leaks that have been around since before Apple even announced the transition that has always been the plan since the beginning.headfull0wine said:I wonder if the COVID upheaval has forced Apple to abandon the hardware redesigns and focus on getting the new Silicon out the door in existing enclosures before the end of the year. They can always introduce new form factors next year.
