Low Power Mode and M1 Owners

[telo123]

For those who own an M1 Mac laptop and on the Monterey Beta, how has Low Power Mode (LPM) impacted your battery life and overall system performance?

From my earlier thread, a user had reported that it had reduced M1 clock speed from 3.2 GHz to 2.0 GHz.

I would assume that extends battery life. I’m not on the Monterey Beta, but just curious for those who are.

I did a bit of testing last week: max. power consumed by the M1 while running Geekbench was approx. 4400 mW with Low power mode enabled vs. approx. 21'000 mW without LPM.
