"shrinks used to produce much faster and cooler parts right off the bat." The data are ambiguous. Intel, prior to Prescott, usually did a mobile on the new process. Despite that, they usually initially shipped the first desktops at the same speed as the top of the older process. AMD did things differently. But they usually were behind on the performance curve anyway. And we don't know what the power consumption is, so there isn't any basis on which to make a decision. Sure, there is that single report of higher temps. But that doesn't mean much. There haven't been a lot of rumors leaking out about high power consumption like there was for Prescott. But even that doesn't mean anything, AMD has always seemed to be able to enforce their NDAs than Intel has been.
