Is 80-90 degrees celsius hot for MBP 2019 CPU temperature I just converted to apple and bought the latest 16inch MBP with a 6 cores core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM.
I am noticing that it gets hot easily, on idle the temperature is around ~45 degrees celsius and when I have chrome and terminal installing something it can go up to 95 degrees and then goes back to about 50.
I only had the laptop for about a week now, is this normal or should I return it?
Also, I am checking the temperature using istat
I just checked mine, a 2020 16&quot; MBP i5 with 16 GB of RAM and it's running at 83 degrees celsius. So I would say yes, this is normal. I am currently running a Time Machine backup and the fans are running.
You can check the temperature of the CPU die from the Terminal via the sudo powermetrics | grep -i &quot;CPU die temperature&quot; command. You will need to kill this with a Control-C command.
