Pete, <My definition for heat limited vs speed path limited is that a CPU is heat limited, if by lowering the die temoerature, you can go faster even if you need more voltage.>

Fair enough. I was wondering why you were bringing the Pentium III in your argument, given that it doesn't produce nearly as much heat as Athlon or Pentium 4. Therefore, max die temperature specs would be a "don't care" when it comes to Pentium III because according to my own experience, that die already runs rather cool as it is.
