the .13u P4 is supposed to hit 3.5ghz or something like that very easily. maybe much more.
at 3.5ghz it will produce 34% more heat than the max of the .18u cores.
Every new core uses less heat per mhz, but the mhz increases much more to offset that

What I am getting at is that the faster CPU's are not requiring better HSF's!!! I know what you are saying but listen to what you are saying at the same time. A XP1600+(1400mhz) can use the same cooler as a 1gig T-bird with the the same temp results. The XP2000+(1670mhz) can use the same cooler as the T-Bird 1400.
Just because it is going faster dosn't mean that better coolers will be needed. In fact it will be just the opposite. The faster they are getting the less cooling they are needing per MHZ. It will come to a point that the fastest CPU will only need a HS with no fan!!!
All the CPU manufacturers are working to make the CPU's run faster AND cooler!!! That is one of their goals that they have stated and so far it is happening.
