Petz,

Welcome back from your vacation, again. As I remember you just came back from Mexico a month or two ago. Where did you go this time? Now, let's get down to business, shall we?

"Does the slot 1 design pull heat from the bottom of the die, or is the improved cooling simply the result of lower case-to-ambient thermal constant?"

Since 0.35um Slot I does not have this flip-chip technology, I would have to say it is pulling heat from the bottom of the die. At 0.25um, Intel is using flip-chip (correct me if I am wrong here, Paul, Elmer, or Yousef) --- heat would be channeled through the top of the die. Does it make any difference?

The improved cooling capability of Slot I by definition in engineering language has lower case-to-ambient thermal constant.

John.
