This is an Intel CoreDuo 120+ degC actual silicon T isn't uncommon as max operating T. 100 degC is likely a derating which allows for a reasonable margin before the chip goes out of spec. Physical damage occurs at quite higher T. Of course, don't expect much long-term reliabilty if you keep your chips close to that limit for long time (or better, with high duty-ratio). -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
