These findings were made in a video by tech YouTuber Austin Evans, who put the new model and the launch model together and compared the two head to head.
Evans found that the heatsink in the new model is significantly smaller and less powerful than the one in the launch model. The new model is now 0.6 pounds (300 grams) lighter than the previous iteration.
A heat sink cools an electronic device by transferring the heat generated from the source to a medium such as air or a coolant.
