Linus tech tips also showed this CPU almost can't be cooled. Even with the best air cooler that is better then some water cooling setups it hit 90+ degrees. This doesn't spell well for the mobile CPUs of this gen. Intel is already greatly exceeding thermal envelope on mobile CPUs for a few gens.

I think there are some issues with temperature readings on ADL. A lot of software showcases 100C with only 3 P-cores loaded, but even with all cores loaded, the CPU doesn't de-clock at that temp. My MSI AIO has a temperature display, and it only showed 75C at load. I've got questions out in a few places - I think Intel switched some of the thermal monitoring stuff inside and people are polling the wrong things. Other press are showing 100C quite easily too. I'm asking MSI how their AIO had 75C at load, but I'm still waiting on an answer. An ASUS rep said that 75-80C should be normal under load. So why everything is saying 100C I have no idea.
