When Apple launched the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display, the company said it had completely redesigned the cooling system for “incredible sustained performance.”
This may sound like hype, but one YouTuber has found a great way to let us do just that. see the new system lives up to Apple’s claims…
The actual performance of any electronic device depends not only on the power of the chip, but also on a series of additional factors. The efficiency of the cooling system is key, because when the device gets too hot, performance will be limited to prevent damage.
In the worst case, the theoretical maximum performance of a chip is only delivered for a very short period before being reduced to a much lower level. Thermal management is absolutely essential in the case of a laptop like the MacBook Pro.
Apple said the latest model has an all-new cooling system.
A completely redesigned thermal architecture enables (…) incredible sustained performance of the M5 Pro and M5 Max, even in a lighter design, while redirecting hot air away from the screen.
As Macmonde spotted, a YouTuber has found a simple but clever way to let us see the difference with our own eyes.
A YouTube video from Geekerwan compared the mini-LED MacBook Pro to the new PROLED XDR model using a fog machine. When each MacBook’s fans are running, you can clearly see how the internal design disperses heat: in the older model, heat escapes and rises through the display, while PROLED pushes heat toward the back of the device through the hinge.
Cooling is particularly difficult when the laptop is closed while connected to an external monitor, and test results show a dramatic improvement over the latest model. You can watch the video below, which links directly to the demo – but Geekerwan’s videos are always worth watching in their entirety, so click here to watch the full thing.
