Comb- What is the max. power one can reasonably expect from this package? I don't think there is a hard upper limit. With the type of volumes that we are talking about, this could be an all new package. As material technology evolves, I don't see why a plastic package can't dissipate as much as a ceramic package. Everything is easier with ceramic because you start with a frame which has good thermal conductivity. But with internal copper planes you should be able to get there with a plastic package. Since this package is thinner, it may be targeted for mobile, where dissipation are less anyway.
