I don't see how that would affect what they're telling us. A EE chip isn't going to run significantly cooler than a mainstream chip. Intel knows that few people are going to pay for an EE chip, that will never change. The funny thing is that the QX9650 and QX9770 actually have a 5-15C lower Tj Max than the mainstream chips, at least according to Intel.
