Personally - I think it's interesting that the M1 chip might actually be better than the M2 stuff coming out now, given the thermal profiles of the M2 chips aren't as good.

I would take that as a bad sign for Apple - at a minimum, it seems like they're under-investing in chassis design to account for the heat output of the M2 chips, and it's a shame. As a worst case, it indicates that the design for these chips might have hit a local optima very quickly, and there isn't much space to push the envelope with future iterations.
