Is this true of Apple Silicon Macs? From my memory, Intel Macs did the normal Intel frequency scaling stuff, but perhaps I've got that wrong.

There is manual low power mode, which slows the machine.

But if you don't not enable it, you don't see the difference.

Yes, but at least on my last Intel MacBook (2013) this didn’t depend on the battery source.
