well honestly that's just wasted compute becuase of the design limitation of the M1 and its cooling. It runs full tilt to a thermal limit and then stays below it, thermally throttling the CPU. Makes me want to see a benchmark comparison with some custom cooling solution on an m1 vs stock. The whole laptop form-factor for these cpu's feels so limiting to their potential.

You are probably right. And the architecture would probably perform better in other settings. However, I got a computer with these limitations on cooling so it is not quite relevant how it would perform under other conditions.
