minus-squareSentau@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoMacOS doesn’t need to throttle performance because ARM and other RISC architectures are naturally very power efficient
minus-squareboonhet@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThey didn’t do it on x86 either I believe.
minus-squareSentau@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoWell those Intel CPUs used to thermal throttle anyway in their outlandishly inadequate cooling designs so they did not need to throttle power either way. Now they could throttle power but don’t have to
