Future transistor technology could create hotter hotspots on chips. Can new cooling methods and chip designs save us from thermal runaway? Imec's research offers hope, but the challenge grows with each new technology node. #ChipDesign #MooresLaw
It’s almost as if the industry knows very well what they are doing.
Which is also why thermal limit has gone up, and they they introduced throttling and such. It’s like they’re aware of the problem and working on it… but that wouldn’t make a nice article.
Yes absolutely, I don’t know how they do it, but I remember BIOS shutting off the computer if the CPU was 60° C. Now many chips can handle above 100° C.
