Re: You're exaggerating again. The fastest Pentium 4 CPUs do not dissipate that much more than the fastest Athlon chips, except that Intel arguably includes the better cooling solution. My post used the term slightly. AMD has two case temperature options (listed on page 83 of the PDF) S=95 degrees centigrade and T=90 degress centigrade allowable. Intel has limits from 69 degrees to 78 degrees in the pdf you made a reference to. If I was wrong about anything, it was my use of "slightly" less tolerant when referring to Intel's chips - they are a lot less tolerant according to your post. But I think you're comparing desktop P4s to mobile Athlons - the mobile P4s will probably be close to the Athlon's in heat tolerance, hence my use of the term "slightly." And what is this stuff you keep posting about Intel "including the better cooling solution?" Intel doesn't include anything - they just point out that their fussy chips need giant heat sinks. It continues to be up to the OEM to provide the cooling solution.
