Solid State Active Cooling Could Revolutionize Thermals, sounds awesome.

Besides being smaller, noisless & maybe better power efficacy, I sound like you can know how much you need for what chip, instead of looking it up on google. So the freaken TWP sys may make sense.

Solid State Active Cooling Could Revolutionize Thermals

At CES 2023 Gordon had a chance to chat with Seshu Madhavapeddy, the Founder and CEO at Frore Systems, about the company's solid state cooling device - calle...

Am I the only person who doesn't find these particularly impressive? Even the larger model is limited to something like 15W. My slim ultrabook has a kick-up 25W mode.

Just seems like it won't actually help much with high power scenarios, just make ultra low power devices quieter.

The heat will always have to go somewhere so it's not likely to actually make much difference to end user products IMO. Not for years certainly, whereas power scaling/dynamic clock stuff has come along immensely the last 5 or so years.

They are just introducing the tech, I am sure they will get better.

Wonder how big they can make them?

Man, imagine when they start getting good enough to handle the hight wat things. They can start making Desktop GPUs small as the laptop ones & be able to cool them. Maybe a killer sys can go in something likr a NES case & be fine. I am sort of wanting to put a sys like mine in a C64 keyboard case.

Any one know the Velka 7? If that was 8" deep, so my GPU could face front to back, instead of the odd 90 degree trist. I would so want that case.

If you can keep it cooler you can run it faster. So it will be able to take your gaming laptop and run it at a reasonable temperature, eventually, whereas it's impossible with a fan.

Well, it would be so cool if Desktop GPUs could shrink to Laptop GPU size. That is one of the things keeping you from putting a real GPU in a small case. Not sure why they don't just make the GPU just consist of 1 chip like a CPU, that you can just put on a MB, like why not have MBs that are like the 2 cpu ones, only one is a GPU instead & that side you can get VRam to compliment it?

If Desktop GPUs become the size of laptop GPU. OMG, image the atom bomb of a sys you can have. If/when these get ablte to cool high end CPUs/GPUs, you could take a C64 & have a killer sys in it.

Hmm ok fair enough. I'm still interested to see where they can take the technology, but as of now it's not ready

I agree 100%. Like if we went on what the first computer could do & see what we have today. Tech improves a lot.
