You don't have a superconducting core... Seriously. The electrical resistance of the circuitry is energy lost as heat. In order to do more work, it draws proportionally more energy, and loses proportionately more.

Now, since the surface area doesn't change, but energy loss as heat does, the blackbody radiation temp must go up. Convection can reduce this. So can setting the macbook on a table rather than your lap, to allow both conductive and convective cooling to be passively maximized.

Do we know which piece of software the original poster was asking about?

However, that was a great answer Aramis!

No, it's not mentioned.

Thanks. I'll note that about the only things that trigger the fans on my MacBook Air are steam games... Civ V makes it heat up something fierce.
