As the size of processors shrink, heat dissipation is getting much harder--we've already seen that with the T-bred. A great mystery for me is this: Why doesn't Barton include a thermally enhanced package (ie internal heat spreader)? The Tbred is currently packaged with a cheapo Duron-class package. I'm sure AMD could hit higher frequencies with a better package. Obviously Barton will have some packaging differences as compared with Tbred, due to the bigger die size. But I have seen no mention of a thermally enhanced Barton package.
