For what it's worth, The latest boxes we've been getting have used Boxed 1900+ (1600mhz) MPs and the rather wimpy stock AMD heatsink and fan. The earlier boxes we were getting used 1200MP chips and big Volcano Cu heatsink/fan combos. The earlier boxes used Tyan's board, the newer boxes are using Asus's board - though I doubt that would have a big effect on heat dissipation unless the mpx chipset reduced power use compared to the MP chipset. In both cases, the chips are showing 43 degrees and 46 degrees under load, so it looks like AMD has reduced the power consumption of Athlon MP since the first chip steppings. It may be that the ambient temperatures were different, I'll try to collect a little more data. This will never be a great comparison, since we aren't getting the same cases anymore, either, but they are similar.

Well....since the 1.8A comes from the same stepping as the 2.2A... without guard band, it probably is a 2.5+GHz part all ready. The little fairy tells me we are about to be blasted with 50+ posts from Elmo exalting the overclocking ability of the P4. I think the phase "Intel is toying with AMD" comes to mind. You Intel stooges are a real transparent bunch. There isn't any 2.2A but no matter, thanks for proving once again you don't know what you're talking about. How would a fired, disgruntled IBM technician like you know how what steppings Intel is running and how would you know which one it binned out from? And just to make you happy, Intel is toying with AMD now. As for the little fairy, tell your boyfriend to stay toooooned! EP
