So I get the whole performance-per-watt spiel, but if they're targeting the same 10W as with Ice Lake Y-series[1], it's gonna be hot during continuous workloads like screen sharing, since they've seemingly decided to get rid of even the "chassis fan" they've had on 2019 Air.

Worth noting that Intel doesn't actually honor those 10W listings, and often boosts above it for significant portions of usage.
