Does the Macbook Air M1 prevent CPU overheating?
For crypto mining purposes, I would like to know if the Apple M1 chip prevents overheating.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5
If the M1 chip (or any portion of it) gets to hot, the clock speed will throttle down to a lower frequency until the chip reaches a suitable temperature before ramping the clock speed backup.
If heat is a concern, you may want to consider the 13" MacBook Pro which adds a fan to help keep the chip cooler.
