<font color=green>The Athlon XP 2600+ we tested seemed to run relatively cool, considering its high clock speed. The 2200+ we tested back in June consistently ran between 44 and 50 degrees Celsius, but the 2600+ we've got today hovered between 35 and 39 degrees Celsius. Our methods for measuring temperature were by no means "scientific" though, and this time around we're using a much better cooler, which should account for some of the difference. The additional 4 square millimeters of contact area probably helps a bit as well. Regardless, the difference seemed rather substantial, so I queried our contact at AMD as to whether or not the changes made to core had a significant impact on temperature. His response was, "I don't have a technical explanation other than our engineers have tweaked the core with all that we've discussed. The end result was a cooler, faster CPU." hothardware.com
