That article was semi-amusing at times... but seemed heavy on personal opinion and light on actual data. Wonder what he was smoking and/or drinking when he got to the last half of his tirade?

LOL! It is a little freaky seeming, but I believe much of the data / opinions regarding heat and performance is in line with everything else I've seen.

LOL, now that's funny.
I have a Prescott and admit they run a little hot. But, there was a wee bit of exageration going on in that article. TC (a senior member here on the forum) had an AMD FX51 before buying a Prescott and he claims the amount of heat produced when overclocking is about the same for both CPUs.

Funny how that old chestnut about the FX seems to be trotted out whenever the heat problems of the Prescott are mentioned - nobody else seems to think there is a heat issue with the FX or the A64 - which puts out EXACTLY the same power as the FX (89W) - strange huh?
