There is a trend to optimize thermal design of CPUs (mobile technology) but this is just tinkering not changing simple physics (more transistors on smaller area = more thermal output).
Check out Israeli Intel R&D Dept's results with optoelectronics, very ecouraging I must say  |
I am not talking about tomorrows tech like next year, I am talking about the 5+ years from now. CPU will not get hot enough to warrant anything resembling one of our current water cooling setups. The CPU's will have to get over 200watts before air cooling isn't a viable option anymore. That isn't going to happen. Someone said I didn't have FAITH which is JUST THE OPPOSITE. I have faith in tomorrows tech to make cooler faster running CPU's. Water cooling just isn't needed now nor will it ever be. I had this very conversation 4 years ago. They said by now water cooling would be main stream. Is it? No.
