Go up one level in this thread


P4 chips are hotter than AthlonXP chips. If you don't believe me go read the
technical documentation on the P4's. They only list the AVERAGE wattage, not the
maximum. The tech docs specifically say, "The numbers in this column reflect
Intel’s recommended design point and are not indicative of the maximum
power the processor can dissipate under worst case conditions."

The P4-3.06 is actually around 110 watts, not 82 watts. This is over 60% than an
AthlonXP 2700+.
