I was looking at THIS I was left with a question of if the chip development is leading away from small core area cooling, vs the integrated heat spreader.

If this is true, then it leaves all the non-tec blocks with some disadvantages. Will most of the blocks designed in here be useless pretty soon, unless they find a way to cool a larger area?

I have seen some comments, but don't recall seeing a thread adressing this movement in chip design and the resulting fallout in most concepts of design that many here have come to swear by. What blocks will be rendered useless and what designs will not be able to be used for larger area cooling?
