In this clip of the Alienware Transmission we discuss Intel CPU evolution and how that’s affected performance and temperature ranges over the years.

"So historically where you were used to seeing temperatures in the 50 to 70 range, maybe up to 80, legacy 5-10 years ago, back to Haswell pre-Haswell. Now you’re going to see temperatures that hug much closer to TJMax. And that’s on purpose. It is to maximize performance at runtime. So, temperature, TJ, means the junction temperature. It’s literally the junction within the silicon itself."
