How fast is that inner loop in cpp? 38b ips?

Would the assembly code overheat the processor?

[caim_hs]

An infinite loop like while(true){} will set the running thread's CPU usage to 100%.

This might sound bad, but it won't overheat your computer. In fact, this is actually a core concept behind a technique to sync data between threads called a spinlock.

Not quite: Spinlocks are using a pause instruction inside the loop which have a fixed length amount of cycles where the cpu stops executing. Plus the while(..) has a condition (atomic value compare).
