You bought a cheaper, thinner, much lighter box. Of course it does not perform the same!
Sorry, no free lunches. We have to pay the size/weight/price penalties to obtain maximum performance. It is unreasonable, even silly, to expect a 3.5 pound laptop to perform the same as a 1/3 heavier 4.7 pound laptop - and for less money.

That must have been the Hermes edition.
At least you're able to get the same CPU/GPU as the 16. It wasn't that way with the previous MBP 13 4 port model...
So much pearl clutching here.
Jeeez...if differences are important, simply wait a couple weeks for a few reviews. And THEN place an order when you are fully informed. That's taking responsibility.
For those that have regrets purchasing the wrong laptop on release day, simply cancel the order now. Stat!

With the kiddos playing games on iPads and iPhones will eventually grow up and potentially use those same games OR newer ones on Macbooks.....
That's $3,200,000 - - did you get the diamond-encrusted Gucci MBP?
No, you bought the smaller and lighter computer, with the smaller battery, which can’t stay cool like the larger and heavier one.
I think Apple should have disclosed it in the specs. For a pro it can be quite the differentiator between 14" and 16" models.
In his defense, he didn't specify the denomiation. He meant 3,200 grand of pennies.

Dammit…you’re correct. Pedantic victories and the best kind of internet victories. ?
Now Im picturing him carrying a bunch of giant penny jars into the apple store like he’s trying to help Santa in court.

Funny. Joke aside, I am planning to move to Safari (almost exclusively) when I get the M1 16. Will see if it sticks. (one downside is the 1password missing extension in Safari)
A) This is an as-yet undocumented feature you didn’t know existed when you were happy to put that money down
B) Your 14” model will operate to its fullest potential. Not even the spirit of Steve Jobs can magic away the thermal limitations of a smaller device.
High performance mode is for people who miss their 16” IntelBooks roaring like a jet engine.
Speaking as someone who bought the first 12” PowerBook, you are correct about that. Fun fact - Apple tried to tell me they never said it was for lap use when I complained. ?
Geekbench explains the Geekbench performance. Seriously, numbers on Geekbench vary a lot, particularly for newly released chips. Alexander Ziskind noted this exact thing recently. So let’s all settle down a little until we get the machines and start testing them.
Woot! Bring back the turbo button from the 386/486 era.?
Y'all geezers know what I'm talking about.?
hehe - I think the turbo button was the opposite ... it slowed down the PC-AT so you could play games that were written with hard coded timing loops for the PC-XT (else they would play faster on the PC AT - so fast that it was impossible to play them)
Probably would've been better off buying a used bottom cover on ebay and drilling tiny holes on the heatsink and fan areas it covers and using a cooling pad.
Yes your set up is non invasive and pretty simple. But I think drilling holes in a bottom cover (spare) and using direct airflow to the heatsink and CPU/GPU and fans would work exponentially better and have less fan noise.
