I agree.
Looks to me like Apple cound not cool these puppies via the normal passive cooling means. Also looks to me like to get to 2.5 Gz Apple had to overclock the existing chips, and the only way they could get the overclocked chips to run with stability was to water cool them.
What's next? Peltiers? Crio-coolers?
