Nice! About time they fixed something, amirite? I've noticed this behavior in some cases myself, but I always thought it was due to my using an external GPU (Razer Core X I think, with a Vega 56)...

Speaking of, have you ever had a situation where, without warning and totally random - even while idle - your Mac just goes APESHIT with the fans, instantly clicks into super overdrive cooling wise, and then shuts down? Because I've had that in the past and if this fixes that...well...I may do the happy dance. And I hate dancing.

Yup! Took them long enough, after everyone already gave up and replaced them with M1!

Also, if you have this issue with an external GPU, something else is going on, since in that case the GPU inside the Mac isn't being used and generating heat.

And no, haven't had that kind of extreme issue. Maybe you have dust?
