I don't think it's humorous at all. Every modern CPU has overheat issue. You have to get a reasonably good heatsink and a good fan. Even if the brand A CPU runs cooler than the brand B CPU, you still need good heatsink/fan combo. Anyways, P3 and K6 run cooler than any P4, Athlon XP or Athlon 64. I think Northwood and older generations of P4 and Athlon 64 have similar operating temperature, and they run cooler than Athlon XP and P4 Prescott. Athlon XP actually runs cooler than P4 Prescott.

P4 Northwood and older/Athlon 64 -> Athlon XP -> P4 Prescott
