Re: The 68 to 71C case temp numbers on the Pentium 4 can't be compared to the 85C to 95C die temp

Intel used to give junction temps, which couldn't be compared to AMD's die temps (or measured outside of a laboratory, for that matter), but the metal case wrapped tightly around the P4 die will be very close to the temperature of the die. Especially when you consider that measurements of AMD's die temp (look at the thermal guidelines docs on their web site) and Intel's case temp are actually made at the interface between the heat sink and the case/die - which acts as a case on top of the Athlon - the numbers are effectively identical.

What next? Does the color of the Pentium attract aliens?
We've all seen the commercials, you can draw your own conclusions....
