Tony, Re: Why does AMD spec. at 95?

I don't know. But for laptop design a higher operating junction temperature is actually a good thing since you can use less aggressive cooling measures then (imagine e.g. that the CPU had to be cooled down to room temperature).

Re <<The industry standard for maximum operating junction temp. for decades, as set by IBM, Intel, Fujitsu, etc. has been 85°C, for long term reliability reasons>>

That is not true.

The maximum junction temperature is based on what packaging (Intel and AMD use different process) is used and what the die can handle and still run at the specked speed.

There is DEFINATELY no industry standard temperature for this. Intel's own maximum die temperature differs from CPU to CPU.

Tony, who really works in the industry knows that parts that work over a wider temperature range are MORE, not LESS desirable, and that they carry higher price tags. Your remark is really comical.

And, BTW, Intel parts don't even work out to 85 degC.
