I had a MBP 2019 which with default fan settings was really hot from the 1h videocall in Bluejeans. Or 5 minutes navigating in Google maps and street view in Chrome.

Only solution was to increase fan speed profile to max rpm.

On my 2019, if a single process hits 100% of one core the fan becomes quite noticeable (not hairdryer though) and the top of the keyboard area where the CPU is gets rather toasty.

It’s way too easy to heat up.
