If we define "hot" as highly active or competitive, the story flips. | GPU | Idle Temp (Chip) | 30

Because the Mali-450 runs hot so quickly, it frequently hits its thermal junction (usually 85°C) within minutes of gaming. The driver then aggressively throttles the clock speed from 600MHz down to 300MHz, causing lag spikes. This vicious cycle of heat-throttle-lag is the signature "hot" experience users complain about. The driver then aggressively throttles the clock speed

If you are experiencing overheating, here is how the two GPUs behave in common games that cause the "hot" search query:
