it's no greater because it's mostly just moving warm air around inside

Thanks for documenting this.
I wonder, as the CPU is practically doing nothing, it is probably
throttled back to 600MHz most of the time. The periods of increased
speed are so short it is not captured by temperature sampling period.
I tried to find an underclocking speed that would make my 4B 4GB perform
similarly to my 3B+. It's very difficult to find a test that eliminates
all the variables. I settled on a single oggenc job on a 90-minute flac
