    Here is a very interesting review I just stumbled upon. Take especially look at 3610QM (45W) and 3612QM (35W).
    Not only does the 3612QM perform like the 3610QM in all games although its clocked 200MHz lower, but it does also clearly runs a bit cooler.
    Also note the dual core 3520QM which also is a 35W CPU, runs about as hot as 3610QM. Probably due to the reason is clocked 500MHz higher than the 3612QM but runs worse because its a dual core.

    Something is amiss. Shogun 2 is a highly CPU intensive game. All core i's showing the same frame rates? I don't think so.
