Intel Prescott - Hot or Not?

edited October 2003 in Science & Tech
Intel has said today that 'Prescott' will never exceed 100W of power dissipation, however some sites still claim the chips consume up to 110W and even 120W. There for the debate continues, and Intel shows no signs of being any more open about the 'Prescott's specific thermal properties.

[blockquote]At Intel Developer Forum, company CTO Pat Gelsinger said that 100W was OK for a desktop computer. While he wasn't referring to Prescott directly, his words did seem to confirm the suggestion than Prescott would run rather hotter than its predecessors. [/blockquote]
