Does anyone here know how to accurately identify current and recent cool-running Intel and AMD CPU's by their model/chip designations? I hope the family of cool-running CPU's that started with Intel Centrino and AMD Turion still exists.
All 3 of my well-dated laptops (2006-2009) have AMD Turion x64 dual-core CPU's, and those laptops are still running quite cool and quietly with the fan only occasionally kicking in. In the meantime, my friends and colleagues with laptops featuring high performance high GHz CPU's have heat-fried quite a few of them, typically with a 2-3 year lifespan.
So, if and when I shop laptops again, I'd like to continue with cool-running CPU's. (Yes, I know there's a GPU heat issue as well.)
