The article at http://www.arstechnica.com/cpu/02q2/ppc970/ppc970-1.html
shows that a PPC 970 at 1.8 GHz draws about 2/3 the watts that a P4 2.8
Ghz chip does.
A lot of these watts turn into heat; so the Pentium generates more heat.
As clock rates have gone up, the wattage consumptions have as well and
I think the Intel chips dissipate significantly more heat now per GHz
than they used to. The P IV HT EE consumes something like 100 watts,
again a lot of this turning in to heat.
So, you need a lot of coolling
