13" 2.7 GHz " we observed an occasional downsampling of the CPU via the EFI (BIOS equivalent) down to 800 MHz. On top of that, the tool also pointed to a thermal throttling of both processor cores."

15" 2.0 GHz "After long periods of heavy use (especially the Furmark benchmark) the system switches down to a multiplier of 8x-12x (800-1200MHz). This could also possibly be caused by the small power supply (85-watt power supply compared to the 90.4 watt highest observed power consumption of the laptop)."

Seriously!?
Come on Apple... I know that you sell these machines more than ever but you could try to make fully functional laptop once in a while.

I would not like to add insult to injury
Apple... come on. This has come to an end.
If you do not hesitate to step in to a world of ignorance and Stockholm syndrome then you might want to read this thread.
At the end you'll find posts telling that OS X update 10.6.7 have fixed all problems.
Still you might wonder how anyone could consider cpu temperatures at 99 °C to be fixed.
If in doubt you should recall those magical words from Apple "it is not a flaw... it is an feature"
FYI Core i7 Sandy Bridge mobile processors max temperature (as told by Intel) is 100 °C and way before reaching the maximum temperature the CPU starts to lower its clock speed.
Apple have decided to add a substantial one (1) degree Celsius marginal between thermal shutdown and operating temperature.
Happy macbooking!
