All the i7/i9 Macbook pros that I used back in the day were obnoxiously load. Even when not under particularly heavy load.

Even a 2015 MacBook for me ran the fan hard almost constantly. First Apple silicon MacBook was silent. Now using an M1 Max MBP from 2021 and external hard drives are the thing making noise on my desk.
Agree. The i9 went full fans as soon as I fired up docker. The arm based macs are an entirely different beast.
