Within the framework of unsaturated Compton disk accretion onto a supermassive black hole as a model for power-law active-galactic-nuclei X-ray sources (as opposed to the synchro-Compton model), the hot-inner-disk model of Shapiro, Lightman, and Eardley (1976) is compared with the disk-corona model with balanced conduction and Compton losses. Both can generate electron temperatures of at least about 1 billion K in the supermassive case but promise other observable distinctions. The sandwich configuration of the disk corona provides a natural explanation of why Comptonization is unsaturated.
