It's interesting to me that being on A/C and Battery power showed a performance difference: when I benchmarked a M1 Pro MBPro against an Intel 2015 MBPro two years ago, I didn't notice any performance differences between being on battery or using mains power in either laptop, which surprised me at the time:

I wonder what the difference is... Maybe my tests were too short to show the difference between mains and battery?

My M2 defaults to using a "low power mode" when on battery, which I noticed initially because some graphics code I was writing was getting significantly lower frame rates when on battery.

Edit: 310fps vs 240fps
