I’m not sure why you put so much weight on a throwaway line, hedged with the use of the word ”potentially”, in the summary of an Intel document when you’re discussing an Apple component.

@crazy dave,

I'll take you all on! LOL.... and I'll crash and burn just like Optimus prime did when he said the same thing.?.....
First of all....... The space shuttle is designed to take the heat / temperature of the earth's atmosphere upon re-entry, but that hasn't always worked out so well for the space shuttle, as we know.?
Secondly,
@throAU , I'm not going to answer your questions, if you won't answer mine.

Thirdly,
@Analog Kid , all of my MacBooks are intel!????
Fourthly, I am an Apple Fan boi. I love apple devices. I also recognize that they are a for profit-company, the most successful for-profit company in the world, and that they would rather sell us a new device than build us one that will last as long as we would like--the replacement cycle is what makes them a 2~3 trillion dollar company. There are ways to to keep things like ram, SSD, etc. modular, upgradeable, thin and light, and just as fast as the soldered on stuff. They don't do this anymore because once they started making the iPhone, they noticed that when their devices aren't upgradable anymore, the replacement cycle shortens significantly, and this is great for their profits. If it is true what intel writes, "PC cooling isn’t just good practice. It’s also important for getting the best performance from your build,
and for potentially increasing the lifespan of your components" . If I were an apple engineer, trying to help my company make as much money as possible, I would prioritize a wonderful 3 year user experience over every thing else, because if the devices are more likely to be negatively affected and possibly die earlier due to excessive heat (it is hot when the temperature is high, b%tch#s!), that would be great for my company's bottom line over time. And the bottom line is what companies are all about. ??????
Some of us are using MacBooks from 2012 or earlier still. Why? Well, Because they made them great in that era, and we upgraded the devices and often went against Apple’s advice. We changed the devices in very basic ways--software and hardware. We did what Apple told us NOT to do. We opened up the back, We upgraded the ram, we put in an SSD, we installed open core legacy patcher, or a dosdude1 patch, we overrode our fans, we broke the rules, and we kept the device from becoming obsolete the way Apple intended and took our devices into the future succesfully. Nowadays, we can't upgrade the ram or the storage anymore, but believe you me, if we want to hold on to our current apple devices for as long as we held on to the ones from generations before, we will have to alter them somehow beyond Apple's original conception. If we just leave it to Apple entirely, we would be stuck with a MacBook Pro from 2012 with an HDD that has 4 GB of ram, and a Genius Bar representative just telling us “it’s really time for you to buy a new device“ーwhen in fact, that baby can take a SATA SSD, 16 gb of ram, opencore legacy patcher and remain a wonderfully useful machine years after apple intended it to be…..It is always a battle with both software and hardware against their planned obsolescence, and I believe thermals are part of this.????
Perhaps, I am wrong to override my fans to keep my devices cool.... Only time will tell.
Who's gonna hit me next? I'm ready for it! LOL! Come on, come on!
