M2 MacBook Air vs M1 MacBook Air: M1 holds better sustained performance for 4K ProRes

Regarding the MacBook Air: The M2 Air throttles harder than the M1 during sustained 4K ProRes video editing because Apple put a bigger, faster chip in the same fanless chassis. The M2 hits 108°C quickly and drops clocks to 1.8–2.0 GHz, while the M1 stays around 2.4–2.6 GHz sustained, making the M1 actually faster for long exports.
