Summary● Heat Sink with Internal Fluid Phase change
required to meet thermal specification (0.18 C/W)● 15% reduction in CPU electrical performance if
an optimized all-metal design was utilized ● Only 4 Suppliers were are able to meet the spec
requirements (remaining suppliers also utilized “similar” fluid phase change approaches)
● CPU power levels are increasing, requiring increased fin area to meet coolable power requirements
