Just wondering if there are any differences between the thermal solutions (heat sink, fan size, etc) inside the new 14’’ and 16’’ MBPs. For example the 16’’ might benefit from larger heat sinks? Also is it the same heat sink/fans when you choose M1 Pro vs M1 Max? Assuming that M1 Max would generate more heat, it might come with better thermal solutions? Personally these are important factors to consider when choosing between different configurations. Might have to wait until tear down videos of different configurations…
Got a tip for us?

I just made a thread on this. It seems you might be correct about a potential better thermal solution on the 16" vs. the 14"

M1 Max on the 14" might throttle more than the 16" as per Apple tech specs?
The MaxTech guys brought up an interesting point today in their MBP reaction video. They noticed that the MBP tech specs specifically for the 16" model specify a additional 0.1 lbs of weight when selecting the M1 Max chip vs. M1 Pro. They thought the added weight can't possibly be just the chip...
