The "i7-1060NG7 CPU @ 1.20GHz" Icelake in the 2020 MBA that I'm typing on
is configured to 10 W TDP, allowing a few seconds of excursion to ~12 W,
and showing spikes to ~18 W during load changes (think one sample flash).
Also, it is configured to not exceed 100 C, which does make sense to me.
The new M1-based model doesn't have a fan. So it will be interesting. :)
20 sustained, without a fan? I doubt it.
