From Johan at Aces: As the introduction of HyperThreading means there can be up to two concurrent threads running on a single physical processor at any given time, it therefore also means that HT-enabled Pentium 4 CPUs have higher power requirements. According to Intel, there is an average 5 to 10 percent increase in power dissipation associated with HyperThreading, and this has been accounted for in the thermal specifications for the upcoming 3 GHz Pentium 4. Specifically, for CPUs running at 3 GHz and above, the maximum ambient chassis temperature has been reduced to 42C from 45C. Further into the future, Intel sees the requirement for ambient chassis temperatures of 38C. In addition to these changes is a new radial heatsink design Intel has developed aceshardware.com Joe
