I heard that the 486 could get up to 400 deg Celcius if the appropriate program
was run (one designed to turn on as many transistors as possible)  I am
skeptical about the number 400 but needless to say it does run hot.  Many VARs
and OEMs have had problems designing clones simply because of the heat problem.

And the 586 is supposed to run even hotter!!  Isn't that awful?
