AMD hot INTEL not

[robinmitra1]

I just want to know that why does AMD processors become to hot during their run as compared to their intel counterparts.

They do more work...this is why they're able to rate their processors in comparison to Intel's, but have them at a [much] lower clock speed.

They're getting much better though...My 2600+ is running at 35c even in the summer...my 1800+ used to sit 40-45c this time of year.

well My Intel P4 3.06ghz runs at around 32c degrees all the time and Its runs 24/7.

Another consideration, is the IHS slug on all intel P4's. It distributes the heat over a larger surface area, thus making heat transfer to the HSF more efficient.

Athlon 64's will have an IHS as well, as do the Opterons. Northwood's also run on a slightly lower core voltage than the Athlon XP's (T-bred B's and Bartons), so I would think that would allow them to produce less heat.

The Palamino's were just horrible as far as heat went. They were almost up there with the T-birds. The Thoroughbred B cores are much friendlier as far as heat is concerned, mostly because they operate at lower voltages. Pally's were 1.75 stock voltage, Tbred B's are 1.65 (although some may run stable at even lower voltages).

Higher voltages really does have a LOT to do with it...increasing the vcore just 0.1v on an AthlonXP can increase temperatures about 10c (not always though)

The Palamino's weren't near as bad as Tbirds though...even the 2000+ produced much less heat than the 1.4 Tbird did.

If you overclock those intels and pump some juice to 'em they'll run hot too. In fact they're more likely to burn out at higher voltages than AMD. So cooling is very import w/ the intel crowd too.
