A new system with a slow China-made processor

    Sounds impressive but this should really be the baseline for non enthusiast CPU temps and power draw if x86 processors weren't so inefficient.

      30 C (86 F) should be baseline at load? Lol. This thing is severely underclocked if that is the temp at load. Laptop processors basically run at 90 C

        But should they run at 90c? They certainly don't have to, and it would sure be nice to just use much more efficient chips that don't produce all that waste heat and burn through power.

          Then imagine how cool they could get if software devs actually cared about efficiency

            RETVRN TO TRADITION: When ram was measured in KB and video game had to load and run off of a floppy disk.

        Oh I didn't read the at load part. It's perfectly reasonable at idle and low load applications.
