AMD fries, Intel survives
Just finished watching a video published by tomshardware.com... Interesting. It featured four CPUs, coolers being removed, and results documented...
Intel Pentium 4/2000, Socket 423, Intel 850 Chipset
Temp 29C/84F
Application slows down, CPU survives
Intel Pentium III/1000, Socket 370, Intel 815 EP Chipset
Temp 38C/100F
Application freezes, CPU survives
AMD Athlon 1400, Socket 462, VIA KT133A Chipset
Temp 370C/698F
Application crashes, CPU & Board up in smoke
AMD Palomino 1200, Socket 462, VIA KT266 Chipset
Temp 298C/568F
Application crashes, Thermal diode fails, CPU up in smoke
You get what you pay for, I guess.
Why do you suppose this is?
