Looks extensive. There's going to be a lot of pressure riding on that chip - literally - requiring the use of a reinforcement backplate. Interesting article, very informative and a great preview of things soon to come.

Ouch!
and i thought it was a PITA
to mount a MC462

i saw this a few months ago with
a review of a prototype clawhammer 800mhz
that toasted a P4 2 gig

clawhammer is gonna kick arse

I like the new heat sink mount design.I really like the one on the third page.Turning the cam to release the clip is very nice.

ya when i am forced to upgrade to clawhammer (will do this after i max out the last cpu to be based on barton), i have no clue wtf i am gonna do w/ all of my socket A stuff i have so many random heatsinks... planning on switching to h2o this week and wow i dont know wtf i am gonna do w/ my block once socket a is done... maybe epoxy it to a gpu?

Wonder how hot it will run?

The later versions will be SOI, so supposedly they'll use as little as 30 watts!

Summer 2003 I heard. For the Hammer's. We won't even be using full 64bit technoligy for a while. It's nice but not needed at the same time.
