Given the arguments below...do u believe that

the cpu at higher temps would break down faster
4 (36.4%)
both cpu's would deteriorate at the same speed
0 (0%)
the cpu's would die due to quality and craftmenship before temperature played a part
3 (27.3%)
I dont really care, you're both idiots
4 (36.4%)

I think that debate is retarded since both CPU's should last a long long time to a point where you would throw them away.  also your point about the cpu running hotter has to be running faster is wrong.  my old athlon64 4000 runs a hell of a lot hotter then my new intel and my intel is overclocked and running faster but cooler.

The comparison is that both cpu's are identical one just runs hotter.  Of course the old athlon64 4000 is gonna run hotter than a new intel (which has a better manufacturing process as well).  If that is the case, let's compare a 266mhz P1 to a 3.0ghz C2D quad core.
Maybe so but still take 2 Q6600's it's not uncommon that one will overclock bettert hen the other meaning it is made a little better and will probably outlive the other.  Therefore, if this can happen it could also happen that the better cpu could in fact outlast the other if even overclocked.

OK, you are not hearing me....to scientifically test a theory, there is a control and variable.  The control would be that both CPU's are identical (which is theoretically not possible due to imperfections in silicon and whatnot).  The variable would be that one is OC'd and the other is not.  OR one has a much better cooling solution than the other.

In the real world, it is not possible to get two identical processors (and I mean EXACT) so yes the manufacturing does come into play when overclocking, but as Sully said, a 10 degree difference in temperature will not make a noticeable difference in the lifespan of the processor itself unless we run the test and sit there and watch it for 30 years+.  And manufacturing isn't the determining factor in the lifespan of a processor, just whether or not it can handle extreme overclocking while remaining stable.

I'm done with this argument.  My head 'asplode again.

I agree with ya Dave..Also did any of u guys get a load of the new Core 2 Duo E8600!!! Fridgin 3.33 with the new E0 Stepping and OC's to 4 FREAKIN GHZ ON STOCK VOLTAGE! It's insane

Electron migration, the hotter faster CPU will die first.
