is an operating standard at 80-90C the extreme conditon, where chips rarely heat up to that level?

Not at all. Intel has had top use extreme cooling measures to try to keep the Gigahertz parts down to 60C. These parts generate a lot of heat. (How hot does a 50 watt light bulb get?)


Scumbria,

So by inference, you are saying that their 1 GHz chips will run into considerable heat problems for the user when installed, or will require a fan almost as big as the one needed for P4.

Not nearly as hot as 65 watt Athlons.
