    Well, the difference is actually 823 MZHz (although looking at the sreenshots on notebookcheck, you can actually see that it's running @ 771MHz to 797 MHz with boost) on the 780M compared to the 954 MHz to 993MHz (boost) on the 880M, and while you can certainly clock the 780M to 880M levels, keep in mind, you can OC the 880M higher still. So the temp difference, on the compared notebooks is appropriate (797MHz vs. 993MHz from the GPU-Z screenshot on notebookcheck). I'm currently considering getting the 880M, but I have decided to wait a few months to see if they will update it with the Maxwell core, because I'd hate to buy the Kepler one, only to see that the Maxwell runs cooler, has better performance and is more power efficient.

    I think Prime95 is a ridiculous test to begin with. They are the same card. One just happens to be overweight. :D
