Eh, I'm inclined to disagree.

There are very few chips that integrate a heat spreader, and none that I know of that integrate a heat spreader beneath the plastic. If you have enough power dissipation to have need of a heat spreader, then it would be monumentally stupid to hide it under an insulating layer of plastic. That would be defeating the whole purpose of the thing, don't you think?
