> Either way, put the same chip in a Macbook and in a Windows laptop and the Windows laptop will run hotter but with better performance.

The Windows laptop can't possibly run hotter than a Macbook, all of which reach the throttle temperature (~100 °C) almost instantly.

I actually agree to the artificially limited performance, artificially worsened thermals theory. The Macbook Air design is extremely fishy.

The laptop can be hotter if it dissipates more heat to the case. The reason Macbooks reach 100C fast is because they don't give off a lot of heat so that the case doesn't burn your skin.
