I have a K6 266 that runs 28 C (+0) idle to 38 C (+10) full load. If I wanted to
boil an egg on my CPU, I'd have to wait a really long time. More likely it would
rot since 38 C is ideal for a wide range of bacteria.

If every magazine in Greece writes that AMD is hot, then every magazine is
Greece is ignorant. I own machines with all these chips (both AMD & Intel), and
I can post temperature data all day long that disputes the claim that AMD is
hotter than Intel. The Athlon was hotter than the Pentium 3, but they were
different generations. The Pentium 4 has been available for at least 3 years
now, so any Athlon/Pentium 3 comparison is extremely outdated.
