Linux kernel 7.3 will deliver approximately 1 watt of power savings for Apple M1 series SoCs, alongside initial support for Apple M3 Pro, Max, and Ultra chips.
For engineers running Linux on Apple M1 hardware, this modest power reduction extends battery life and reduces thermal output on what remains the most mature Apple Silicon platform for Linux. The incremental nature of the improvement reflects the maturing state of M1 Linux support compared to newer chip families.
