Old CPU's, granted, but it appears that Intel CPU's simply handle
critical overheating much better than AMDs.

Your thoughts?

Ok, someone clue me in - did a bunch of ancient topics somehow bounce off a
distant planet to now return as some weird usenet replay?

If you plan on running your CPU without a heat sink and with thermal
monitoring off in the O/S and BIOS, then Intel is definitely the way to
go. You can also consider that Intel added thermal protection in the CPU
because at that time (P-III P-IV) they ran so hot even with a heat sink
that they were marginal in some cases.

I run almost all Intel systems, but uncooled operation is not a factor
in that choice. ;-)

AMD: trouble with 65nm process?

Debate surfaced on the Web this week over whether AMD is still struggling
with its 65nm process technology. Some of AMD's highest performing
processors are still made at the 90nm process node, months after the 65nm
ramp

The 65nm problem, according to one tech-minded poster on the Investor's Hub
Website, is one that Intel dealt with in the transition to 45nm: electrical
leakage on the chip. According to the writer, known only as "wbmw," this
AMD white paper on desktop processor power from earlier this year shows
that, in the poster's words, AMD's Athlon 2600 chips are "insanely leaky,"
and "may explain why AMD has not been able to ramp to 65nm. The leakage is
killing them, and only their lowest leaking parts are able to hit 2.6GHz at
1.35V, and still maintain a reasonable power envelope."

Though speculative, the post was credible enough that it was picked up by a
number of Websites, including The Inquirer, which said, the AMD white paper
"means that AMD is more or less binning 65nm parts based on leakage alone,
and power consumption is the overriding factor limiting the new processor
ramp."

But here's what Dirk Meyer, president and COO of AMD had to say in last
week's earnings call (transcript at Seeking Alpha, here ): "We're very
happy with our 65-nanometer yields across all products, including
Barcelona, so no issue there."

But he went on to add, "The fact of the matter, Barcelona, while being an
absolutely great product, is complicated and it's taking a little bit more
design work than we anticipated..."

AMD said it would begin shipping the Barcelona processor in August and OEM
would have systems available for purchase in September.
