Re: "The heat problems are from high voltage and large die and high MHz. Solutions for heat are die shrink. High voltage is used for speed, but results in more heat. High temperature cause slow speed. Thus if heat is not removed it will diminish the benefits of the high voltage."

Did you notice how AMD specs the case temp at 65 deg C while generating more than 30 Watts? You have to move a whole lot a heat away to keep it that cool.
