![]() CPU load when I play 4K 60 fps videos in Chrome is about 14%. Especially watching YouTube videos in Chrome lets the laptop get quite loud. When I connect it directly to my 4K external Monitor or via my CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock the fans ramp up significantly although the CPU load is quite low. 2,3 GHz 8-core Core i9 with Radeon 5500M 4 GB. ![]() And then can still work an hour or two longer. Unless I'm in a hurry and every minute costs money, I'll let the cores work at 2,3 GHz and wait a minute longer. I know I'm losing some peak performance, but that same peak performance would eat battery faster than I can get more coffee. Fans don't spin up, and battery life is significantly better. When the battery is not charging, I run Turbo Boost off all the time. There's no stutter or other concessions to general user experience. And when Turbo Boost is off, there's 8 cores that generate nice performance at a stable 2.3 GHz. In my line of work the fans rarely hit 5k though. That way I get nice boost performance for a good while, but don't have to listen to the fans for long. When the fans hit 5k, I turn Turbo Boost off until they're back to 3k. I manage desktop noise with Turbo Boost Switcher. During the benchmark, the AMD GPU will spike. You'll see two rows (in my 16" i9 it's Intel and AMD), if there's two GPUs. Maybe the old MacBook doesn't have a dedicated GPU, and so there's no second chip pulling its own significant power? Try to run Heaven benchmark and have Activity Monitor's GPU History (CMD-4) on. in clamshell mode, will maybe edit later for "open" mode (but its simply the same values divided by two) The only real difference is, that my old docking station was active (with its own power source) - but I don't really now if that's explains the difference in doubling the temperature. It was connected to the same display, mouse and keyboard. My old Macbook never had any real difference between clamshell and normal use. ![]() The fans are audible the whole time, which ist especially annoying, since I sit near the MacBook and ist like some constant background noise. It's now sitting on constant 63 degrees (145 ☏). The whole time the 16" MBP is connected in clamshell mode - the temperature doubles. Since I don't work on two displays the laptop sits closed (clamshell mode) on my desk when connected. Now when I come home, I connect my MacBook to this HUB which itself is connected to a 144 hz 1080p screen, my keyboard and my mouse. Strangely, at least when it's quit the fans still seem audible sometimes. When I use the MacBook the normal way (opened, without being connected to anything) in university I get really nice low temperatures around 30 degree (=86 ☏), which is even lower than my older Macbook. Before I was using a six year old 15" MBP, which never had any problems temperature wise. If it works out, the feature should arrive in other Chromium-based web browsers, like Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi.I got my 16" MacBook Pro (2.4 iM 64gb of ram) two days ago. Those improvements would be great to see on more pages, but we’ll have to wait for the experiment’s results to see if it breaks any sites. Google said in 2020 that lazy-loading YouTube videos on reduced load times on mobile by 10 seconds, and lazy-loading Instagram embeds saved more than 1MB of data usage. The explainer document says, “it’s not uncommon for an embed to request and execute large amounts of script, which can have a surprising impact on the performance of the parent page – from resource contention to delaying interaction readiness.” Google is hoping the feature could bring the performance and battery life benefits of lazy loading to even more pages, without breaking any sites in the process. ![]() Embedded content that meets certain criteria (hosted from a third-party site, source matches a curated list, size of the frame, etc.) won’t load until it’s visible on the page, just like images and other embeds that have opted into lazy loading. The new experiment, dubbed “LazyEmbeds,” is planned to start with 1% of people running the stable version of Chrome 104 ( due for release on August 2).
