Must say I'm sceptical of someone who states:

"And as we go from one generation of CPUs to another, the heat dissipated by these chips doubles as well," says Cooligy's Andy Keane
While the number of transistors doubles, the heat does not - as processors get thinner they also get cooler.

Also...
Quote:
Goodson's experiments have produced a flow rate of 200 millilitres per minute. Keane says this would be enough to cool chips that radiate 120 watts of heat per square centimetre
Is quite dubious. That's about what current chips generate, how many of you would run a 0.2l/m pump?

And finally...

This appears to be an image of the complete AMC system. Notice the finish and size on the silicon block. The block itself is tiny, and the finish is so amazing, the days of lapping heatsinks may be over!
That's a good finish because you're looking at a maya render of the setup not a real product.
