My 2019 8-core MBP shows a very high CPU temperature spike at startup - on the order of 95-100°C for a short time for core 1. This is measured with iStats Menu 6. This seems to drop within 10-15 sec. or so. My 2016 MBP didn't show this kind of temperature transient.
Is this normal?
Thanks.

If it is a brand new Mac, several things could be happening as encryption is taking place/ spotlight indexing etc.
If this is on going problem you can try
resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

Thanks for the reply. The MBP is around a month old so all indexing should have been completed. And, since it lasts a short time, I assume it is a startup transient. After an SMC reset, there is still the brief temperature transient on CPU 1.
I have a hunch it is normal. I may call Apple support just to confirm.
Thanks.
