Motherboard
Machine description Apple MacBook Pro 14 M2 Max. 12 CPU Cores (8P,4E). 30 GPU Cores. 32 GB Unified RAM, 1 TB SSD. Running MacOS 13.3 Ventura with all PixInsight updates.
Comments Custom fan curve set to increase at 60C (CPU Avg) and max out at 90C. No thermal throttling observed. Tests performed on battery, with screen open, and on a laptop stand. Performed 10 benchmark runs in succession. Rejected 2 outliers (caused by Ramdisk allocation at start - slower). The other 8 tests show consistent performance. Im submitting Run 8 (ranked 4th) because these subscores are representative of the most common results. After extensive testing, this configuration yields the best and most consistent performance on my machine.
