I’ve run my M1 Max all night blasting every core doing heavily vectorized math computations and when I come back in the morning the small room it was in isn’t even noticeably warmer than ambient temperature and the fans aren’t even on.

Isn't the M1 Max pulling like 30-40W tops? I don't understand why that would ever be expected to create a noticeable temperature change. I doubt any laptop CPU would create a noticeable difference.

  Yeah, low power draw is kind of the M1 Max’s thing. My desktop PC crushes the M1 Max when doing workstation type tasks. But for content consumption and even light workloads it’s very efficient.

  That's kind of my point.

Meanwhile I can use my desktop as a personal heater if I max it out (Threadripper Pro 64 cores).
