Hello,

has anyone tested how hot the new CPU gets? I came across this subject by moving my music to iPhone via sync and cable. I noticed that the iTunes feature " Convert higher bit rates to 192 AAC " makes my Intel Mac literally blow away for hours if you copy a lot of music data to your iPhone.

- - -> 2 simultaneous audio codecs is the max the Intel can support without the CPU reaching 78° for hours.

How are the speacs with the M1 chip? Since the video and graphics processor and microprocessor are now
combined in one thin tiny chip. I wonder how the "coolness" factor works there.


The aluminium case plate under the mac is real "heat conductor". If I wouldn't lift up the MacbookPro by 2cm
from the ground, I'm sure the MacbookPro would literally burn during the sync process for hours and hours.

Regards,
Black Baron
