How long before the thermal throttling kicks in? I guess if that's the case probably only a performance issue for me when not at home with a laptop cooler underneath.

About 8.5 minutes of full load it starts to throttle. At about 30 minutes the throttling peaks.

Although, even when throttling it's only at 80% power. For native apps that's still faster than the mobile i9 in the 16in mbp.

Independent tests show 5-8min of full load before it throttles, which really is quite impressive.

I believe I saw some estimates that it starts throttling after 8 minutes under load? But I can’t remember the details, unfortunately.
