It seems reviewers with early access to the new Apple MacBook Air are busy evaluating the performance of its new M2 processor, as evidenced by the flood of Mac 14,2 scores on Geekbench.
Unsurprisingly, the M2 in the fanless MacBook Air scores in the same ballpark as the M2 inside the MacBook Pro 13, which has a single fan. Geekbench is a quick benchmark and it doesn’t stress the chipset and it, in turn, doesn’t generate enough heat to cause throttling.
