That's not new. LGA755 is the first chipset to support PCI-E on Intel platforms...and Intel was the first to support PCI-E. That's well over a year and a half old (more like 2) and I suggest you look up newer chipsets and processors (the 670 being the latest in the line of Intel P4 Prescotts.) All your 'news' is old-hat.
[edit]My bad, 755 is the newest chipset. Dunno what I was thinking. Anyways, like I said, the 670 is the newer CHIP.

LGA755 isn't a chipset. It's a socket. Now assuming you mean a chip for a LGA755 socket, they're still hot. The idle power consumption is much better, but at load, the difference is barely noticable.
If you want to argue the 670 isn't an oven, maybe you should learn how to read:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/pr ... 4-670.html
Pentium 4 670 power consumption under maximum workload (as usual we used S&M 1.5.1 utility to load the CPU) approaches the power consumption rate of the top dual-core Intel solution, which boasts the TDP of 130W. This is actually one of the reasons why Intel decided to stop raising the Pentium 4 core clock rates.
So again, you're wrong.

It's not that bad, especially idle, and if you have decent cooling it translates to 30-40 load 40-50 idle even overclocked. Wattage != temperature, and they've done a good job of heat dissipation. Aparrently YOU don't know how to read because you couldn't read the link I sent you.
So, sir, I beg to differ. Your phony stats are indeed what's wrong.

No crap that wattage doesn't equal temperature. The point is they still run hot.
You're a jackass, btw.
