I agree but they also have 8gb of GDDR5 memory to cool, wich is probably packed pretty close together. And 8gb must mean alot of memory chips. So considering airflow in a thight space you either have the heat of the APU being blown over that memory or the other way around, and you need quite alot of airflow to dissipate all that heat. Also both cpu and gpu are now in the exact same spot. I was really amazed that AMD could fit an 8 core cpu together with such a GPU.

The amount of chips didn't change... 16 chips... like 8GB DDR3 of Xbone... and it is not a lot.
