I hope you read and understood the comments at the end of your article. Mac Daily news should remove their article. My quad Core i7 720QM in an ASUS N71JQ-A1 notebook ran 74 C in a 23 C room temp during Cinebench. An older version of CPUID identified my processor as an i5. That is what has happened here, and note that the Mac screen shot also shows an i5. A 100 C processor in a notebook is laughable, especially for a dual core. I hope this is an isolated case.

You were saying ...

A 100 C processor in a notebook is laughable, especially for a dual core.

I think there's a bit of confusion here with "100" -- I see "100" mentioned and I believe they're referring to Fahrenheit, and then I see numbers less than 100, being like 80 or 90 and I think those are Celsius.

Now, the processor itself, from what I've seen will run up to 80 degree Celsius, and that will happen "normally" under high CPU conditions, but not 100 degrees Celsuis. The question is, are you talking about 100 degree Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius?
