hey eye,
i know what you mean by hot
from my techie manuals, the hottest mobile chip ever was the now defunct amd k6-II which i have in my old pc laptop...it ran so hot that i used to use it as kind of a lapwarmer on those cold northern califrnia mornings
it is a wonder that the plastic has not melted yet and if the laptop were made out of metal, there would be lawsuits due to second degree burns... or at least anybody with a 98/99 era k6-II could turn it over after a couple or hours and cook lunch on it...hey, a real dual usage machine...i should patent it
my 366 k-II gets so hot that a techie reviewer benched a severely overheated 366 at the speed in a pentium 1 range! (i wish i saved the cnet or zd article)
