I'm currently choosing between M1 MBA & M1 MBP. I'd definitely like to do some gaming on it (but my main use will still be regular stuff, such as MS Office, Internet, some audio and pic editing, YouTube, streaming, etc.).

How much does gaming performance drop on M1 MBA vs M1 MBP after playing a game for a while? Is there a lot of difference in performance having a fan vs. no fan?

What I'm worried is that there will be a dramatically decreased fps rate on MBA after 10-15 mins due to throttling.
