If they use less power (which I heard 1.5V) then even higher clocked will not get as hot untill it reaches the end of it clock limit(which probably will not be to long the way it goes now days).

Hey Jaydee, guess what the first Socket A 180nm chips ran at . . . Thats right 1.5v (typing on one now actually). They sure as hell didn't stay there.
Somehow I doubt TBred will either.

That is a considerable amount. Takes a 80watt CPU and drops it to 64watts back into the Duron Morgan level. Thats huge.

Yes but TBred is about 80mm^2 (IIRC) verses 128mm^2 for Paly. So while heat maybe 20% less, you have only ~63% of the surface area to conduct it with. That means that the thermal density is actually increasing, not droping.
