So the MBP 14 8 cores consume the same amount of power as the 10c

According to notebook check thorough review :

The full package power is just 7 W (4 W for the CPU core) in single-core tests and just 24.7 W (with ~21 W for the CPU cores) in multi-tests. However, it looks like the CPU clusters consume the same amount of power as in the M1 Pro with 10 cores, which offers more performance.

apparently the cluster is still fed with the same amount of power no matter how many cores there are
Which should mean same battery life...and same heat as well,as the energy doesnt disappear but has to transform...in heat supposedly

That's really interesting. Guess the only advantage of 8-core is cost, then.

IG so.i haven't seen any other disadvantage apart from the charger otherwise
Whatcha go for may I ask ?

In the end I settled on a 14" with M1 Pro (10-core CPU / 16-core GPU) and 16GB of RAM / 1TB SSD.
