Given that the die size is even bigger, I'd expect them to have even worse thermal issues than the M1 Pros, but only time will tell

The M1 pro is the coolest device I have ever used, not sure what you mean by "even worse"
The M1 Pros occasionally get hot enough you can hear the fan over a quiet conversation. Are you referring to the previous generation Intel MBPs which routinely maxed out their cooling system and thermal throttled?
Even worse thermal issues than ... a laptop with no thermal issues and a fan that never even seems to audibly turn on?

What thermal issues?

What thermal issues? I can build PyTorch with all cores and the fans do spin up, but they are barely audible in a normal environment. When you touch the laptop it's warmer than idle, but not hot at all.
