Ali,

As a PhD in chemistry and former chip packaging specialist at Intel, he [Paul] must know for sure that a chip does not need to run at top specified temperature, that any bigger/better heat sink could low the chip temperature to any value you want, and the chip just will have more speed room and stability margins.

Actually, Paul is a good barometer of AMD problems. If all he can find for his FUD is something totally misleading, something that is actually a benefit rather than a probem, AMD is doing fine.

I think that this is a way that "PhD Paul" toys with the "regular" people. Maybe a joke that only he understands.

You know there are means of joking where one contradicts the obvious with an apparent straight face. The rude do it with people who they expect will not understand and then take joy in their (confused) reaction.

or OTOH maybe he's being just plain devious.

I remember that there was a lawsuit bought by the SEC against a poster that posted false messages and then made (upto a million $$'s I think) shorting the stocks.

I wonder, being a PhD (and touting the same over here), what is his responsibility when he posts such "misleading" interpretations to what he MUST know is otherwise.
