Bill, good explanation. But I disagree with this point

"These two replace the fragile direct to die heat sink and is a lower thermal R path than the direct to die one. "

I think the sum of the two is higher than the direct attach, if the direct attach is done correctly. The problem is that since many AMD chips are assembled at DIY shops, attach is often done incorrectly. Thus causing bad thermal path, or breaking the die.
