Macworld Video: Stay cool with the MacBook Air

Jason Snell and other have noticed that Intel's Santa Rosa chip architecture, used by the MacBook Air, shuts down a core when it gets too hot. The result? At random times, generally on warm days and generally in the afternoon after you've been using my MacBook Air for a while, the computer will become crazily unresponsive.

@Nuvola75 Because they have to run at higher voltages so that all CPUs are 100% stable. Not all CPUs are stable at lower voltages.
