I also don't buy the conspiracy theory that Intel is trying to kill AMD with the new form factor.
riddle me this...if one of the ideas is smaller form factors, how will the CPU and GPU be further apart? airflow will be iimproved, but they will ultimatly be closer together. and no, i don't think Intel is intentionally trying to inhibit AMD, its just a convenient side effect. i don't think it will be a hard problem for AMD to solve, but it will cost something.
and WOW thats a pretty cool FrozenCPU case
