The Thermal Design Power value of the Apple M2 (10 Core) graphics card. The TDP number determines the maximum power consumption of your graphics card. The specifications for computer ventilation and power supply are often based on the TDP numbers and should be optimized for it.

The type of the Apple M2 (10 Core) cooling system, along with its size and performance. As a rule, fans with larger diameters have an advantage because they can move the same volumes of air while rotating more slowly than smaller fans. It should be noted that liquid cooling systems in addition to fans and aluminum radiators need some kind of pump, which can also be noisy.
