The issue is that 90 Celsius (sorry, my mobile phone doesn't have "degree" mark in it) is the gap between the temperature of it's evinronment. So, the article predicted, that when it's very hot and room temperature can climb up to 35 Celsius, that means the graphics LSI may reach temperature of 125 Celsius. And to compare with, they desinfect (did i spell it correctly) the hospital instruments in a steam with temperature of 120 Celsius.

Thanks for that clarification.  Still, for further clarification, the article says they measured a temperature difference of 57 C, and that it is "expected" to reach a difference of 90 C.  How did they arrive at that figure?

Also, 35 C = 95 F.  Who plays their 360 in a living room at 95 degrees Fahrenheit?  I would expect it to melt if I did that.  Room temperature is more like 72 F, or about 22 C.

 

My house hits 90 F on a regular basis in the summer time in Minnesota.  And that is without a little heater( aka 360) pumping out 80 C air from it.  I can't imagine what the temp would be like in a home in Texas, Florida, or California.
