a redesign is the rumored 540 that would include a blu ray player etc... and the new chips had no effect seeing as its no the chips that cause the heating, thats like saying an oil change fixed my flat tire, the problem lies with the compact design of it....

 

Have you ever studied anything about electronics?  Any circuit element with electricity running through it will produce heat, it's just the way of the world.  Since the chips have current running through them (edit: probably more than any other part) they are absolutely a source of heat.
