Newer, but worse: MacBook Pro M2 laptops lose power under load due to constant overheating

A few days ago, the first customers began receiving their MacBook Pros powered by the latest M2 chip. And, like

expected, the first tests of the device began to appear on the Internet. Discuss

Judging by them, if the M1-based laptop wasbreakthrough, 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,MacBook Pro M2 starts skipping cycles regularly 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 peak value of heating,which the device demonstrated, in principle, is the largest that he had ever seen before. Before that, he had not observed anything like this on any other Mac, including those with Intel chips.

The most annoying thing is that such a “tear” does not give muchgrowth in performance compared to the M2 chip. So, if the new MacBook Pro exported an 8K Canon RAW video file in 19 minutes 40 seconds, then the MacBook Pro M1 did the same task in 21 minutes 40 seconds.
