My prediction, Deneb will be a success, It will enjoy a 10-15% ipc improvement on average some things higher and some things lower and will have very good power usage below 3ghz, Over 3ghz it will be a lot worse due to current leakage with no highk metal gates.
It has a good chance of taking the performance per $ crown and the performance per watt below 3ghz crown.

83C on a TRUE heat sink.

the chips will operate at 80C but there life span will be shortened.

some lower phenom have a higher max temp then higher clocked one like 9550 72C vs 9850 66C

higher bins need less volts there i probably another reason why. but if it's above 70C for most chips that's hot.

Deneb 45nm lithography uses water immersion form IBM if you look at the PDF posted in the thread you will see it's has more precise etching now.
