Several reviews suggest the full 32-gpu-core M1 Max is not ideal within the 14" chassis - for reasons of thermals, fan noise, and battery drain.
The 32-core M1 Max is now known to be down-clocked in the 14" chassis compared to the 16", and Apple has also confirmed that the extra GPU cores will effect battery even when idle.
Does anyone know how much these issues effect the 24-gpu-core M1 Max in a 14" chassis?

- What is the impact on battery drain? Is it minimal or halfway between the 16-core Pro and the 32-core Max?
- Is the doubled memory bandwidth a significant drain and heat source?
- Does the fan activity lie closer to the 16-core Pro or the 32-core Max?
