CPU Thermal Differences

I just had a thought about the quality of the dies between Intel and amd. As Intel cpu's can handle temps under 95c without throttling while amd will throttle much earlier at about 65c (making them act more like gpus), could that indicate that the amd silicon is of lower quality and cannot handle lower temps? Could that indicate that Intel cpu's will have better longevity (in terms of stability and not performance)?

I don't think so.

The difference is that AMD CPUs throttle in steps, whereas Intel just waits to get to 100 and tanks performance. The production quality of the silicon can't be ascertained by this behavior, however.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
