Any idea on how to get CPU temperature for the new M1 Macs? With Intel Macs, one could do terminal & sudo powermetrics -s smc | grep -i “CPU die temperature” or use app like Fanny but neither work; Fanny just shows fan speed now.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Did you try, copy & paste:
sudo powermetrics -n 1 --samplers smc | egrep -i "FAN|CPU die|GPU die"

The SMC sampler is not available on the M1 (or on Big Sur, not sure which). You can get frequencies and power usage for CPU and GPU with powermetrics, but not the temperature, as far as I can tell.
The temperature can probably still be read from the SMC, but it looks like the keys changed for the M1, and might even be different between the M1 models.
I believe you're correct as two apps (TG Pro & Sensai) have been updated for the M1 and show numerous temp gauges. Thanks much.
Get Temperature for M1 Macs?
