why do turion II's run so hot?

[Akagi]

I've read around the internet that AMD's Turion II laptop cpu gets extremely toasty.

Mine for example idles at 50*c, average use is 65*c to 70*c and under full load while casual gaming it hits 90*c to 95*c.

The highest I have ever seen it is 93*c I think, possibly 94*c.

All of these temperatures are in an 'average' room with a fairly 'average' ambient room temperature, and while pirched on a coolermaster tri fan laptop cooler. (Which only knocks off about 3*c)

How is it even possible for the chip to run so hot? Its like the gtx480 of cpu's

*edit* its not a rhetorical question :L

usualy amd processor runs a bit hotter, what you could do is to check whether heatsink is clean or not.

I'm hoping that the cpu burns out to be honest.
I have cover, so if it does, I get the original value of the laptop in vouchers (£640)
Which means that I could get a far better one
