Yes less than 8.

Basically when you see 10deg C/W it means the part will heat up 10degC for every watt it dissipates.
So for example a chip with no heat sink with a Rja (junction to ambient) of 50degC/W (and assuming a 25 deg ambient) will be running at 75 deg C if its dissipating 1 watt or 125 deg C if its dissipating 2 watts.

OK, I understand now. Thanks again!
