Why is amd so hot?

i have turion 64 on my laptop and every body's like "Dang!! YOUR AMD LAPTOP BURNS LIKE FIRE!!"

WHy is it so hot? My stepmoms laptop is even unbearable(sony vaio very small under 13' i think it has intel though) i dont get why they get so hot

Answers:
amd cores run very hot but thier also very powerful amd laptop processors are more powerful than higher clocked intel chips also being on a 90nm fabrication makes them larger than intel chips which currently use a 65nm fabrication.
because it's cheap! liable to burning up! Get intel instead!
Think about the amount of air your large 80mm fan pushes out of your desktop computer case, that is large and airy, and has open parts in the front of the case..

Then cram all of those hot parts together, and remove the fan and all of the extra airspace, and remove extra open seams and ports...

See where I'm going with this?
I've saw it on youtube that amd do get very hot as compared to Intel. They even had a one on one test and Intel CPU really is a topnotch!
They all get hot because they draw power. The average laptop uses something like 45-60 watts. Think about it thats like having a light bulb inside that small case.
because your computer does not have adequate ventilation, if you want your computer to be cooler, i suggest you buy a cooling pad

or, if your computer is a few years old, it may be dirty inside and need to be cleaned out, dust builds up and blocks the air vents causing the computer to heat up severely
even tho it is a laptop you need to keep it on a desk is what i recamend
Get a Intel Core 2 Duo. Use alot less enough and have alot of power
