New E8500 w/ E0 stepping...Temps corrected?

Sorry, meant to say E8600 in the title!! Can a mod edit plz...

Just read this review at XBit and they act like the temp problem is something new..lmao. If the new stepping is correct could that be used to 'calibrate' C0 chips so to speak. As long as your cooling is equivalent to that of a testbed in a E8600 review and you match clocks/multi/fsb with the test, would that yield fairly accurate temps? I'm sure there will be more reviews that examine the new temp characteristics vs the C0 behavior and maybe establish same type of general guideline. What are your thoughts?

Not really.
You can't base your temps on somebody and something else's temps, because there are several factors.
From simple to complex, like heatspreader flatness, die/s to IHS ( Integrated HeatSpreader ) contact, the quality of your chip, your heatsink's mount, the ambient temp, etc etc etc.

And you can edit the title via EDIT and then ADVANCED as threadstarter

The case, airflow in case, GPU's and cooling, motherboard and cooling, relative humidity and there si more sure someone can add to the list too ;)

I was just listing a bunch m8.
