lion runs hotter than SL?

[littleasian]

I installed the lion GM 2 days ago and have noticed that my mbp now runs much warmer than it did under SL.

using istat the temps hover around 64-65 where under SL my temps were around 57-58.

is anyone noticing their laptop run hotter too? my battery life seems to be lower too.

Un-scientifically I think it's running a bit hotter, but nothing close to Windows or Linux on the same hardware, which nearly melt the case.

Mine runs the same temps, but even in SL they were higher then when I first bought my early-2007 MacBook Pro.

It does run hotter and thats because Lion in it's current iteration is more resource hungry than SL.

I think SL 10.6.8 is running hotter than 10.6.7... And there was a significant raise in temperature starting from 10.6.4.

I'm not sure whether it's an actual increase in temperature or the way the computer is reporting the numbers.

For me the GM runs significantly hotter than SL. I'm hoping Lion from the app store will be different.

This is bad news. Lion should've been released in winter...

Well of course. Snow Leopard would be cooler, given their indegenious regional climates.

Who would expect a Lion to live out in the snow anyway? 😛

I lost about 30 minutes of battery life under Snow Leopard. It is not surprising.

Lol such ignorance... where on earth did you get the idea that windows/Linux runs hotter? You do know that OSX is based off of unix right?

I guess it has more processes going?
