Athlon XP topic not covered by most reviewers...
Does and Athlon XP put out less or same heat than a similarly clocked Athlon MP? I know that they are basically the same, but I was wondering if the OPGA packaging somehow reduced heat ouput. I'm gonna be buying one of these pretty soon.

I doubt it has any effect.
one thing I am looking forward to is if they use the same glue method that Intel uses on OPGA interfaces on their P3's... if they do then it will make it much harder to chip the core than the ceramic Athlons. now when will AMD get into putting a heat spreader on... ohh that may put some of those shim scam houses out of business. |
haha yeah heatspreaders on those chips are long overdue, but personally, I think if you're careful, you aren't gonna chip the core. Those are for idiots.

I may be wrong, but wouldnt a heat spreader reduce the thermal efficiency a bit? IIRC every time it has to cross from one material to another it loses efficiency...
