    Are all P4 and Athlon 64 hot?

    Last time I saw a P4 was from a friend and it was running a 1.7~ it would get real hot pretty quickly. A lot of hot air would come out of the ventilation holes.

    I know they are old and are different core, but they are the last ones I've seen on heavy duty action.

    THe ventilation holes.. the latop holes, the holes on the plastic, behind the heatsink

    The Moblie A64's run pretty cool. My G/F has a Emachine 3000+ and after a few hours of gamming(I got to test it ) it was luke warm. The Pentium M's run really cool, and the P4's that are DTR's are still pretty hot. But cooling has gotten better in laptops.

    I would guess that any P4C at <= 3.0GHz or a newer A64 stepping at <= 2.2GHz could be undervolted significantly at stock speeds, resulting in a much cooler CPU.

    If you wanna go to the laptop sector - the Pentium M is undisputed champ of mainstream (read: not Transmeta) CPUs.

    I would definitely choose a Pentium M for a laptop. Just curious how hot A64 and P4 are right now.
