Did Microsoft solve 808/810 throttlin/heating issues?

Very Interesting. The Lumia 950 has the Snapdragon 808 while the Lumia 950 XL has the Snapdragon 810. Both phones though have a heatsink to keep the processor cooler. I wonder how much this will effect performance?

Do you think the heating/throttling issues of the 808/810 will be solved this way?

The 810 is infamous for heat issues so maybe a fair bit

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the "liquid cooling" is a thin heatpipe, which have made their way into a sony phone recently to deal with the 810's heat output.

it's a bit of a stretch, but heatpipes could be marketed as liquid cooling without being wrong, as it's got water or some other liquid in it to evaporate off the hot end of the pipe.

has it now? Is that the Xperia z5 or a different one?

the Z5 premium, which also has a ludicrous 4k display

Well the 808 never had heat problems. The 810 solved its heat issues with the 810 v2 or v2.1

The Snapdragon 808/810 is almost a year old and at the end of its product life cycle with the Snapdragon 820 coming out in late 2015/early 2016.

Yet there seems to be a lot of new devices still coming out with these chips for some reason

It'll use vapour technology similar to that of which is used in Sapphire Vapor X coolers

Posted this on the news thread, but I think a similar system is being used in the 950 line

Every surface pro has had a system similar to this. They have used heatpipes and a fan. The fan turns on if it gets to hot. All the surfaces have done this. That's why they all had vents.

I know, but it can be adopted to fit a SD810 without fans.

The reason why the 810 has such issues is because manufactures are making the devices needlessly thin and compact.  Nokia/Microsoft's phones aren't the thinnest phones and will have better cooling.
