For what it's worth, The latest boxes we've been getting have used Boxed 1900+ (1600mhz) MPs and the rather wimpy stock AMD heatsink and fan. The earlier boxes we were getting used 1200MP chips and big Volcano Cu heatsink/fan combos. The earlier boxes used Tyan's board, the newer boxes are using Asus's board - though I doubt that would have a big effect on heat dissipation unless the mpx chipset reduced power use compared to the MP chipset. In both cases, the chips are showing 43 degrees and 46 degrees under load, so it looks like AMD has reduced the power consumption of Athlon MP since the first chip steppings. It may be that the ambient temperatures were different, I'll try to collect a little more data. This will never be a great comparison, since we aren't getting the same cases anymore, either, but they are similar.
