Would it? Is that what we are doing is trying to simulate die's? If so, why? The die changes watt output constantly and inconsistantly so whats the point in trying to simulate it on a die sim that has a constant watt output? Even if you match the size of the die on a certain CPU your still in no way simulating it because of the power inconsistancies and even hot spots. The die of a CPU isn't an even temperature like a die sim.

I say just use the die you have and be done with it or you going to open up more problems than you can control IMO and loose considerable accuracy in the process of trying to control it.

I don't know though you guys probably know better than I....
