High temperature

A month ago I bought a MacBook Pro 13. Today, when I worked on it (processed video), the temperature reached 95-98 degrees on the processors. Is this normal? How to deal with it?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Hi,

Resetting SMC could solve the issue.

If it doesn't help, contact Apple support or opened Apple Authorized Service Provider to tell them about the temperature issue, since it not normal.

It is not unusual to see the CPU temps reach 99C or 100C when doing CPU intensive workloads. A lot of simple workloads will keep the CPU temps at 60C - 80C.

Run the Apple Diagnostics to make sure the cooling system is working normally.

Recent Apple laptops run hotter than the older Apple laptops and hotter than many other laptop brands because the Apple laptops use such a powerful CPU in such a thin laptop where dissipating the heat is very difficult.

Thank. Sorry, I'm worried that I did not bring all the information or I was misunderstood. In normal operation, the browser and 2-3 more applications, the temperature is approximately + -50 degrees. Now, during video processing, such a temperature was reached and cooling turned on to a maximum (7200 rpm). When the video processing was completed, the temperature returned to the region of + - 50 degrees. Perhaps you thought that always such a temperature.
