M1 will not throttle in the Mac mini, only in the fanless MacBook Air.

So it still has a fan and a good heatsink? I'm not familiar with them, that's why I'm asking.

It has a fan and heatsink identical to the intel Mac mini, which was a 45w part. It was insufficient for that task but more than enough for the M1 running all out.
