I have an HP Core i7 5500U CPU. Base clock 2.40GHz, Turbo 3.0 GHz (the laptop attains this turbo, there's no cap imposed by HP).
Just purchased a Dell with a Celeron 3215U, clocked at 1.7 GHz.
Both CPUs are 5th gen, with 15W max TDP.
The i7 CPU heats up to 75-80 degrees (gaming with nvidia DISABLED in optimus).
The Celeron, playing the same game, reaches a maximum of 50 degrees.
How's this possible? If both have 15W TDP, shouldn't they heat up to the same temperature while playing the same game at same settings?
Is this a fault of the cooling system in the HP laptop? Or is it normal for the i7 (with same TDP) to heat up more?
