<Assuming no core enhancement or process shrink it should still be manageable. It may require thicker heat spreader and longer fins on the heat sink. Maybe even a copper heat spreader or faster fans. In my estimation, at most, it will add about $6.00 (for the OEM) in thermal management cost.>

That is a another nice angle. How much power do you think the chip could burn with enhanced thermal measures. 80W? 100W? Something else?
