MacBook Air M4 is having strange problem

Among them, YouTuber Vadim Yuryev conducted a test using the Lightroom Classic photo editing software. In his test, Yuryev found that most of the CPU workload was handled by the MacBook Air M4's six power-efficient cores.

MacBook Air M4 doesn't use performance cores to process Lightroom Classic

This is a notable finding because photo editing software is often CPU intensive, leading many to believe that the software will tap into the performance cores to get the job done. This was demonstrated with the previous MacBook Air M3 model, where Yuryev showed that all four performance cores and four energy-efficient cores were being used.

Aiming to extend MacBook Air M4 battery life?

It’s not clear why this is happening, or whether it’s a Lightroom Classic specific feature. However, using more power-efficient cores could help improve battery life and reduce temperatures.

Will Apple produce Apple Watch and MacBook in Vietnam?

However, at the moment there is no specific information about the performance of the software in this state. While Yuryev showed that the machine runs well, there is no guarantee that the software will work well in the long term. Furthermore, the fact that the performance cores are not used while the energy-saving cores are working hard may raise some questions.

With the tech world testing new products from Apple, we may soon have more information to determine whether this is just a coincidence or an intentional feature of the new MacBook Air.
