M2 MacBook Air VS M1 – CPU, Disk Speed, Thermals & More!

he M2 MacBook Air is finally here so I decided to to test the $1199 base model against the M1 base model to figure out just how much faster the M2 chip is inside of this finless MacBook Air body and to see just how much it thermal throttles with the hotter M2 chip, as well as see if the disk speed advantage on the M1 gives it an advantage over the new M2 MacBook Air.
