IIRC some of Intel 'soon' products were supposed to use about 150 Watts... So they don't only need totally new cooling, but new power supply and motherboard desing.

Looks good for PPC.. If we only get 970 supporting northbridge out sometime this year (summer I hope).

According netrumours.. Prescott will be slower (on same ClockFrequency) than Northwood, so it'll need to be clocked higher to gain comparable speed..
