Well see laptops obviously have cooling issues too, I've owned two that did, my current one gets hot but doesn't shut down I had an Acer in the past that actually would crash right out due to heat.
My I7/256 received 46 updates including firmware yesterday. As I was installing the the updates and listening to the fan spin away, I was reading comments on the forum from folks who had various mini-scares with the updates. Those experiences had me concerned, but mine actually updated, installed, and rebooted with no issues. Of interest, is that when I rebooted it later, it told me it was updating the system (again?), and that update seemed to be the firmware update as it all happened in "black screen mode". Over-all, I surprised that it went as smoothly as it did after reading other comments.
Yes same issue here i7 512Gb gets hot a specially while IO.
No thermometer image on this device till now but I couldn't hold it in my hand.
I had one with defective screen (the pen was not recognized on parts of the screen) same thing but with showing the thermometer image.
The fan kicks in fast playing 1/3 of MS Sudoku ramps up the fan to 100%.
Maybe it is the 512Gb SSD?
My 256 gets really hot and it is right where the processor is. It gets hot and the fan spins even when just sitting on the Start Screen with live tiles going.

MS Sudoku uses a library from a 3rd party that is extremely bad coded.
Exactly, this is another proof that it's met the CPU the one triggering throttling it's the GPU.can be I checked Netflix out watched 1 h boring things; no fan. Paying 5 min MS Sudoku the fan runs on max speed. Still the CPU is a 3% usage.
Maybe the i7 is closer to the limit and the fan has to kick in earlier. But hot is different.
Like the thread started the updates is the thing that gets it hot.
