[QUOTE="rubaiyat, post: 1627816, member: 240393"] The other thing, pretty much as Chas says is that the CPU's speed is raised and lowered in response to temperature and demand. There is a top speed but that is only used infrequently and will raise the temp and get the fan going, all of which chew up power which both Intel and Apple are working to keep down to make any battery last as long as possible. And to keep the noise down. PC builds open up the bowels of Belzebub then flush all the wasted energy out with fans and cooling systems. Hang the wasted energy! Full steam ahead!! It's all about framerates and GAMES, the only conceivable use for a computer. [/QUOTE]
