Does anyone have experience with this? Does the new Skylake 1.3 GHz m7 run hotter than the 1.2 GHz m5?
I hate having a toasty computer on my lap, so I'm inclined to buy the 1.2 GHz m5. However, I'm wonder it there is really much difference in real-world usage. Anyone have some insight into this?
Thanks!
Hi Joel, any CPU that is clocked to run at a higher speed will have a slightly higher temperature though both the Broadwell Core M in the 2015 Macbook and Skylake processors in the 2016 Macbook provide low amount of heat compared to the current MacBook Pro line. If you are still concerned I would recommend visiting an Apple Store or authorized reseller that has a MacBook running all day to feel the bottom surface.
