> I believe a lot of people don't hear the fans because they're wearing headphones. For the rest of us that like a quiet room You’re completely focusing on fan noise here, but of course it also enables tiny devices with great battery life and - this isn’t completely irrelevant when you run your computer for a significant part of the day - lowered electricity cost. Oh, and I believe these processors have quite some head room before they will reach the physical thermal limits others have already run into, so expect some more raw performance on better cooled systems.

Last time i had a phone that lasted 7 days it was a Nokia 6210 with a b&w screen. > and - this isn’t completely irrelevant when you run your computer for a significant part of the day - lowered electricity cost. I care about that too, but prolly not worth mentioning on an US centric site.
