I was reading a thread at another site and the subject of Pentium 4 heat output came up. This is one quote that I saw:
"First off the P4 does not have any cooling problems. Athlons get MUCH hotter then[sic] any P4."
I don't think this is right, but I can't back up my thoughts with any hard numbers. Can anyone enlighten me as to the relative power consumption and heat dissipation of the Athlon and P4? I tried searching the boards here to see if this subject has been covered, but felt like I was looking for a needle in a haystack.
