I’ve noticed similar trends—after a few OS updates, my device handled sustained gaming sessions with noticeably improved heat management. Some benchmark tests I’ve seen showed temperature drops of around 10°C under heavy loads, though naturally, that sometimes comes with minor performance adjustments. It’s interesting how different vendors are tweaking these algorithms based on their hardware profiles, which makes side-by-side comparisons all the more valuable. Also, there’s emerging evidence suggesting that smarter thermal management can indeed extend battery life in demanding scenarios, though it’s a balancing act.
