Re: Intel's Pentium 4 has IDENTICAL SPECIFICATIONS

No, it doesn't. You are comparing the temperature of the heat sink (thermal plate) on the Slot A processors with the temperature of the die (case temperature) on the P4. Try to run a P4 with the heat sink fins at 70C and see what happens!

What is called a case on a P4 is called a die by AMD. See page 21 of the pdf at
amd.com
Page 12 of the pdf gives the range of die temperatures supported

amd.com (page 38 of the pdf) this is the original thermal design document that had the plate temperature spec

developer.intel.com (page 70 of the pdf is where the P4 case temperature limits are listed
