Jim: Aren't they all limited by heat?

Well, I guess that depends what you mean&#133

However, if we limit ourselves to conventional cooling methods, only the P4 and Athlon appear to be limited by their heat dissipation these days. PIII and K6-2+ run fairly cool, but still cannot operate at higher frequencies.

Jim Re << I was wondering if the larger die of the Palomino would necessarily dissipate heat better? Worse?>>

In short, better.

One of the bottle neck in thermal management is from the die to the heat spreader. This bottle neck is proportional to die size. Bigger the die, easier it is. That is way Merced can be cooled while it dissipates more than 200 watts.

Another bottle neck is from the heat sink fins to air. Die size plays no role there.
