What I discovered (and yes this is as stupid as it sounds). The MacBook pro has poor thermal management if you plug the usb-c charging cable in the left. Youâ(TM)ll get slow performance and fan noise. Plug in the right side and itâ(TM)ll be fine.
No surprise here. The fan intake is on the left, incidentally there are also no internal heatpipes bringing the heat anywhere near this nice cool airflow, instead the CPU just has a standard heatsink on it and relies on the fact that air will travel through the case (picking up heat from things like the USB-C power converters) along the way.
It's an incredibly dumb form over function design. I sometimes wonder if they intentionally thermally gimped the previous gen MacBook Pros just so their M1 could look be

The left side seems to charge faster than the right side.
