To them, if the M1-based laptop was a breakthrough, the M2 version was a disappointment. At least, such conclusions can be reached after watching the comparison of the novelty with the 2020 laptop, conducted by YouTube blogger Vadim Yuryev from the Max Tech channel.
He said that under a serious load, the MacBook Pro M2 regularly started skipping cycles and losing performance. At the same time, the temperature of the SoC reached 108 ° C, and the fans constantly worked at a maximum frequency of up to 7200 rpm.
It is also reported that the highest heating value displayed by the device is, in principle, the largest it has ever seen. Before that, he hadn’t observed anything like this on any other Mac, including Intel chips.
The most frustrating thing is that such a “tear” does not give much performance gain compared to the M1 chip. So, if the new MacBook Pro exported an 8K Canon RAW video file in 19 minutes and 40 seconds, the MacBook Pro M1 did the same task in 21 minutes and 40 seconds.
