quick question about tbird/duron voltage...

[eLiu]

what's the tbird default vcore? 1.85 or 1.75?? (yea i know, stupid question...but i just blanked out...i cant remember hehe)

And...does a duron at 1.85vcore output a similar level of heat as compared to a tbird at 1.85? (if the MHZ differs by 400-600 or so...)

TBird Vcore is 1.75v.

The Duron heat output should be less than an equivalent TBird because of the lower transistor count.

BTW, this only holds true if the Duron and the Tbird have equivalent voltages and clock speeds. If either the voltage or clock go up, together or independently of each other, it will cause a rise in heat output.

Less by a lot? or less by a little...?

Durons have a couple million fewer transistors...right? And i know that every mhz increase also increases heat
