Do you have one of the M1 Pros? Mine very much does gets hot and I can definitely hear the fans when I'm building a project, but both fronts are certainly improved vs the Intel Macs. Honestly, it gets about as hot and as loud as the Intel version, just far less frequently.
- capableweb 5y agoHuh, I made a comment about this issue just the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28988835 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28988835) and had 5 commentators telling me that it has now been fixed, almost made me order a M1. But now you're saying it actually still runs as hot as before?
- Toutouxc 5y agoYou need to rephrase your question. Does M1 (any M1) still hit 90+°C at full utilization? Yes it does. Does the machine itself get warm/hot when working hard? The Air, yes (plain M1 but no fan). The 13" Pro, not really (plain M1 and has fan). The larger Pros, yes (have fans, but more powerful M1s). Do the machines get unbearably hot? Depends on what you consider unbearable. For some people, apparently not.
- weatherlight 5y agoI have a m1 max and before it a 2020 m1, I still use an Intel i9 for work. With the M1s my fans only go on if Im gaming or using apps that are CPU intensive through Rosetta 2. My intel machine sounds like a leaf blower by comparison To get the most energy efficiency out of the M1s is to use binaries/programs that have been specifically compiled for the M1.
