Jim Re << I was wondering if the larger die of the Palomino would necessarily dissipate heat better? Worse?>>

In short, better.

One of the bottle neck in thermal management is from the die to the heat spreader. This bottle neck is proportional to die size. Bigger the die, easier it is. That is way Merced can be cooled while it dissipates more than 200 watts.

Another bottle neck is from the heat sink fins to air. Die size plays no role there.
