"What's the approximate relation between the processor case temperature and the die temperature?"

Joe,
The exact data for P4 package are not published AFAIK.
As a guess, the P4 die is covered by a copper
heat cup (or spreader), about 0.5mm thick.
Given the copper conductivity at 4 W/cm/K and assuming
about 100W/cm power density, the temperature
difference across the cup should be less than 1K.
Taking into account some mechanical deviations,
I guess the difference between the "die surface"
temperature (in AMD definition) and the "case surface"
should not exceed 3 degrees C.

Regards,
- Ali
