Your data is inaccurate.  Show me what production Intel cpu you've  
ever seen that spec'd out agreeing with the product data sheet?

You can grab a 40 watt light bulb and it's barely warn to the touch.   
The MacBook Pro gets so hot it'll double as a secondary heat source  
for your house.  You don't have to take my "flapping mouth" for it,  
read for yourself:

Any cpu that gets that hot simply because of misapplied thermal  
conductivity paste pulls more than 31 watts.  Like I said, Intel  
tends to be horribly optimistic.  For pete's sake, you can cool the  
hottest-running G4's with a passive heat sink that takes up way less  
room than the thermal pipes and sink on the Core Duo.  Anybody with a  
brain should be able to read between the lines.
