I am assumin you know what the criteria for the size of the chip are

They are this(just in case)
Using the smallest transistor technology available amke it as large as possible until the heat output can't be transfered by a stack heatsink

i am not doubting your technical logic here.

But as I keep saying, this heat output they stop at could be way higher if watercooling was used to transfer heat. If the current chips were any larger a stock heatsink would not take the heat away and it would burn out. If the stock heatsink was instead stock watercooling, well you get the drift.

Yes, but no one wants to mess with water cooling. If you make a CPU run hotter then you have to make EVERYONE even large bussiness use water cooling and pay to maintain it because the CPU requires it. So the OEM market WILL be affected as they would have to use water cooling in all their computers which is not practical for reasons already stated

And by the way the way that no ones grandma can program the VCR but everyones grandkids can put a computer together(no not the 3 year old but the 16 year old can). The people that will be buying the better computers from now on will be able to handle it, the people that can't didn't even have computers at school, your talking about these guys, the guys that buy the high end computers know what they are doing. I didn't say everyone would get watercooling, not everyone has a good heatsink now, some people don't buy the fastest computer.

This is already ruled out from ythe above.
