fyo - Re: "Seriously, though... and you know this stuff darn well Paul... a major problem for 1.2GHz AMD chips is that they consume enough juice to cause city-wide brownouts."

Yep - I pointed this out a number of times - but all the AMDroids do is moan on and on about the size of the Heat Sink on Intel's 35 watt CPUs !!!

I guess the 65 watt ThumperBurner doesn't need a heat sink !

They also think the 95 C junction temperature on those 66 watt ThumperBurns is a badge of honor - instead of a smoke alarm about to go off.
