CPU 'on-die liquid cooling'

[kaziishan]

Cooling got a bit interesting than the stock Intel cooler. This is probably going to be the new face of CPU cooling of the future.

Air Cooling: 60°C
CPU 'on-die liquid cooling': 24°C
Chip Used: 28-nanometer Altera FPGA chip
Conclusion: The new liquid cooling technique could help facilitate stacking multiple chips to allow much denser, higher-performance computing systems.

Seems really cool but it'll be hell expensive which means we might never get our hands on it. :/

Yeah. But, the fun part is the micro-channels for flowing the liquid is etched directly on the CPU die. So, much less space is needed to cool the cpu. I think it could revolutionize the Mobile CPU industry.

That's a bit too much of a stretch

yes...

but i think it will be more useful for laptop/slim ultrabook market... and maybe big tabs like 12"

This is on die liquid cooling, plus to me that feels like it's vulnerable to something. I don't know, even with the tubes can't be that small enough. Then again how the hell is the new Lumia 950 XL even liquid cooled in the first place?

I heard that it's actually just heatpipes, and they are calling it "Liquid Cooling"...

He he he! I actually meant CPUs like Intel Atoms or the U-series as Mobile CPU...my bad

Even that, well it is less of a stretch than Smartphones. This will take years to implement however.
