Hello,

Given the increases in the number of cores in Apple M processors ( CPU and GPU core). It has become more tempting to do tasks that use the full capacity of all cores in the new MacBooks (especially Pro),
I think Apple already does this. Just plug the Macbook power supply into a wall outlet. The computer senses this as uses power differently. It pretty much works as you suggest it should

Hello,

Given the increases in the number of cores in Apple M processors ( CPU and GPU core). It has become more tempting to do tasks that use the full capacity of all cores in the new MacBooks (especially Pro), yet this will come at the cost of ruining the MacBook battery. Should there be any avenue that enables the user to bypass the battery (perhaps by having removable batteries or any other way) when performing extensive computation tasks (so depending only the power cord like a desktop)? This may eventually increase the battery's lifetime and simultaneously enable the user to use the full capacity of the MacBook's computation power. I wanted to know if you guys ,who have already purchased a new MacBook with those M ships, can use the full capacity of those cores without degrading the device (ruining battery ... overheating (cause of using total processor capacity, continues charging, ...etc )).

Note: I posted this on Apple discussion but did not yet get enough feedback ..

Thanks
What is your theory of how using the cores will ruin the MacBook battery? How is that supposed to happen?
