Of course, the heat sink and fan companies are very greatful

I am sure they are grateful for the P4 as well. When your cpu goes up in flames you probably have to buy a new fan as well.

As for your harping on about the mobile market, when are we going to see a mobile P4? Because in six months time Intel are going be up against AMDs mobile K7 in the high end notebook and I don't think the mobile P3 will compete with a mobile Athlon with DDR.

Paul:

"They may be able to run that hot, but AMD's brute force speed-at-any-cost has so far cost them the entire middle
and high end of the mobile CPU market segment."

Comment: Paul...darn good thing,too...otherwise INTC would be locked out of the entire consumer space on a price/performance basis...Got to leave some crumbs on the table, you know!!!

Paul,

It means that AMD's chips are running hotter and hotter and hotter.

This is nonsense. For example, embedded CPU's are tested and rated at 125C. This is an indication of a comfortable margin, not high heat dissipation.

On the other hand, Intel CPUs which are rated at 60C are indicative of a very serious problem.
