I didn't mean to indicate that AMD still had heat problems - but when I was
trying to decide between the Athlon and the P4 they definitely did.
Overheat a P4 chip (for example, by removing the heatsink) and it would
immediately slow down and survive handily.  The early Athlons however would
immediately melt down - taking the motherboard and anything close with them.
;^)

As it stands today those problems have been solved however.

Intel's 9nm chips suffer from heat just as much as the older ones, you
could fry an egg on them.
