Well, this could be interesting. All 6 cores on my 2018 Mini are, according to iStat Menus, at 95C or above. Just doing an update of my Win-11 VM.

Now you know why they are called Intel-powered space heaters.

The joys of Intel chips :) M1 MBP here I've never seen over 60C at full
800% utilisation.

Yep. M2 MBP here. Barely gets warm while running MacOS and Windows Arm 11 at the same time.

Well it all calmed down eventually, with no HALT-AND-CATCH-FIRE instruction apparently executed. I was downloading the Win-11 22H4 technology preview (?) into my Win-11 VB VM, although I have to say that having installed it and rebooted, I couldn't see any difference from what was there previously.

No heat problems on my M1 MBP even when my ARM Win 11 VM is updating itself with something massive.

They're quite a thing. Shrunk a series of DVDs using Handbrake/Mini M4 to a quarter-size, maxed out the CPUs, at about a third of the time of a 2019 Intel iMac (guessing; 2 hour film in about 4 minutes). No fans, barely warm.
