In the video version of the review it's touched on more. Their editor/lead video woman stated that after almost half an hour of exporting work the fan never turned off, and when it did she couldn't hear it, only felt the vibration.
It sounded promising, like it rarely turns on.

At full speed the fan is similar in volume, or perhaps a bit quieter. However, they don’t seem to ever reach full speed during intense workloads, unlike the Intels which do it quickly and stay there. I had to use a utility to force them to max out.
> Even when running long benchmarks, like this 30-minute Cinebench test, the MacBook Pro’s fans rarely spun up.
But left out how noisy the fans were when they did spin up. Can anyone here that has one of these models comment on the fan noise compared with any of the latest intel models?
