Under full loads, my CPU and heatsink temperatures are still around 20+ degrees apart.
I think full load temperatures have dropped a couple of degrees. Once the task is done, the computer does cool down way faster.
Up until I added a SSD, I was still idling close to 50 degrees. With a SSD inside, my idle is in the lower 40's.
I really don't think the quad-cores run any hotter than the C2D's. When I was comparing mine after the mod, the new laptop was running cooler than the C2D that I got from 2008. I would assume it's all been the same - we're just now bringing this topic up more so than before.
