Can anyone tell me if 2200+ runs colder than 2100+?
Does the AthlonXP 2200+ run cooler than the 2100+??

Generally, with a smaller manufacturing process, there is less core voltage required, and as everyone knows, heat=wasted energy, so, if the core voltage is indeed lower, than yes, it will run cooler.
I suppose I don't really have much useful to add to this, but here goes regardless.
Of the reviews I have read on this say that no, even though the 2200+ is based on the 0.13micron die process, it doesn't run any cooler. From what I read about it, this was the main concern over the release of the 2200+, cause it theoretically should run cooler, and in fact the 2400+ and the 2600+ do run cooler. This leads me (and I'm not the only one I'd imagine) to think that there is something wrong with the initial revision of the 0.13micron process die, a problem AMD fixed with subsequent releases, but never changed in the 2200+ itself.
The latest bios I just installed on my mobo says I can now run up to a 2600+ (the last of the 133Mhz fsb Athlons), and so personally I'm gonna stear clear of the 2200+ and go for either a 2100+ or a 2400+, cause the heat issues are not something I'd want to deal with.
Long winded I suppose, concidering all I offered was anecdote and conjecture, but there you have it.

I agree.
If you notice after the 2200 they got a good boost in speeds to 2800 telling me they had corrected some flaws
