How it compares to normal i9 device. Linus took apart a macbook air and the cooling was so bad that it may be the reason the i9 cooling so badly designed. It may be badly designed on purpose to show that the performance of arm chips in macbooks is comparable to an i9 without cooling https://youtube.com/watch?v=MlOPPuNv4Ec

The i9 is not in an Macbook air. It's in a Macbook pro 16 inch which has a completely different design. But you are right that all ultra mobile laptops on the market have way too shitty cooling. You could easily get an additional 10% of performance if the OEM would stop the insane thinness war.

Interestingly the latest MacBook Pro did get thicker than its predecessor. Not a lot but perhaps they have got to the point where they are thin enough.
