smaller process size on the intel chipsets = less heat
From Tom's
The chip is produced using 250 nanometer technology. Currently, rival NVIDIA offers only 350 nanometer technology with its nForce2.

The AMD Northbridge in this KG7 gets pretty warm.
AMD 761 Northbridge & VIA 686B Southbridge. :rolleyes:
