will a 1ghz tbird (non overclocked) run any hotter than say a...750, 800, 950 or any other cpu overclocked to 1ghz?

well it probably won't run much hotter than any other T-Bird but will run hotter than a lesser clocked for sure but not by much. It will run Hotter than a comparable P-3 for sure that's a problem that AMD has to address if there going to scale there processor up much higher than they have.

Well, depends on Voltage... 1ghz 1.75 V will run cooler than an overlocked 1ghz at 1.9V.

Actually AMDs upcomming Palomino chips seems to be taking care of the heat issue.
According to the register a 1500MHz Palomino with passive heatsink runs cool enough to touch.

On the original Q .. if both are at standard voltage, there shouldn't be any difference, however it's common when o/c'in to bump the voltage a bit and then heat becomes an issue.
