intel airs did have fans anyway. when they switched to apple silicon they removed the fans.
The 12” macbook (not air or pro) was fanless but it was a severely gimped CPU and had major issues.
Ah okay I assumed that since the last Intel Airs used the same shitty Y series Intel CPUs they were also fanless. Now that I'm thinking though - those Airs were the ones that had fans that never really blew at the heatsink
