Doesn't the M1 air use the same chassis as previous Intel based MacBook airs?

  It does, but the screen or how it is attached is probably different in some way. There is no way the M1 gets nearly as hot as my Intel machines.

    I have an M1 Air, under enough load it'll run right up towards 100C and that heat is localized over the processor. It seems possible there's something about the thermal design that makes this configuration more prone to this problem than previous machines. Aluminum expands more than glass so the problem would most likely be something around the chassis / hinge area.
