tecate - It's really only become an issue with Prescott and its requirement for more substantial and expensive cooling solutions. Are you saying Prescott is that old? ;)

Seriously, some OEMs are probably going to cut it a little too close on thermals with the greater costs, so eventually with dust, etc., it'll become a real issue. Yes, I'm sure Intel has probably provided proper and adequate guidance on proper cooling solutions, but when someone discovers their Intel chip is throttling frequently, is that the kind of PR Intel wants. Good thing for them Prescott's soon to be history.
