No, No, I mean a regular 94 or 9500 being overclocked, not their retail stock temp being that high. No matter what speed, you're right they'd never do that. That's one of the things that killed Tejas, remember? All I'm saying is that AMD will bin these suckers for every once of speed to get better returns, sort of like my 3500+ has about 90MHz of Headroom LOL! Why would I want something that will generate a 150W of heat (after being overclocked) to still end up being slower, be more power hungry and more expensive? Doesn't matter who made it, that's a bad deal IMHO! Please note, I skipped Prescott for that same reason.
