Well, the design of the heatsink is probably not a source of error as they apparently used the same one for Winchester and Newcastle.

On temperatures: you would excect die-temperatures in the eighties (or nineties) Celsius when running CPUBurn. Btw there is thermal diodes on the die which deliver values to ACPI. There is software available to display these in Celsius.

Anyway, there is one piece of information in the article which points to higher power consumption of Winchester-Cores indeed: (if hkepc got it correct, that is): Specification of max Die-temperature is 5 degrees lower than on Newcastle.
