[QUOTE="mobproctor, post: 1063910, member: 153752"] Actually, the i5/i7 will be less likely to have heat issues than the previous Core 2 Duos. The i5/i7 have thermal monitoring technologies where as the Core 2 Duos do not. That is why the i5/i7 spend most of their time in idle mode (@ 2.4, 2.53, and 2.66GHz) to protect from overheating and reduce power dissipation. Both the i5/i7 and Core 2 Duos have the max thermal design power of 35 watts meaning they can all dissipate up to 35 watts of heat without exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the chip. I understand there are a lot of threads out there concerning heat issues with the core i5/i7 Macbook Pros. However, there were the same threads out there concerning about heat issues before this new generation of Macbook Pros even came out which means it's the design of the Macbook Pro that causes the heat problem rather than the processors.
