I would make claim without owning M4 device (reviews and stuff) that apple let’s M4 to run 105 C before throttling and even cooling on older M3 mbp.Thanks, sounds like my overheating issues are an outlier then. That's encouraging and I'll do some more testing to see what's causing the spike.
EDIT: Take that back, just tried it on a Mac mini M4 Pro on default settings and the graphics cores immediately shot up to 104°C. Now that's dangerously hot. I'm going to stop trying on the Mac for now until this gets sorted out.
That means it is normal and is expected when pushing cpu/gpu to the maximum.
