Bill, Re: <you eventually reach a point where the temperature at the junction needs to be limited to prevent junction degradation by thermally accelerated diffusion of point dopants away from their area of influence and this leads to a transistor that deviates from what it should be>

I would guess the junction temperatures to be hundreds of degrees higher than the average die temperature.

Especially in 'loosely constructed' chips like the P4.
