For some reasons I'm now working in a 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2015) with a pretty simple i5-5257U (just 14nm dual core...) and its behavior CPU wise is pretty bad in terms of usage and temperatures. I'm on Catalina 10.15.5.
Using Skype with my webcam activated pushes the CPU temperatures from 60 degrees to over 80 using the fans at 100% via Macs Fan Control. If I don't use it it just sits arount 95ºC, it's crazy. When I navigate in Chrome, each time I load a page, the CPU spikes like 10 degrees. And this is the improved performance after I changed the thermal paste (Noctua NT-NH1). Activity monitor also pushes the temperature 10 degrees as it draws constantly a lot of power. And this is the "normal" behavior.
Abnormal behavior: Sometimes Chrome some chrome tab starts draining power like crazy for no reason When temperature seems over usual I just start closing random tabs until suddenly temperature drops 10ºC. This is happening to me only in this laptop and in well known websites so it is not malware, it is some kind of bug. Is there any way to control or fix this?
I also wanted to undervolt my PC but it looks like they dropped unsigned kexts support in 10.15.4 so I think I'm not even able to do this via Volta or VoltageShift.
