A team of theoretical physicists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Boston College has identified cubic boron arsenide as a material with an extraordinarily high thermal conductivity and the potential to transfer heat more effectively from electronic devices than diamond, the best-known thermal conductor to date.

Move aside IC Diamond! We have a new champion!

I hope they implement this in consumer chips soon and not in like 20 years

how hard is this to manufacture

is it cheap in large volumes ?

 

would be great if used instead of copper

IC Cubic Boron Arsenide doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I hope its cheaper than diamond to implement. Imagine if the stock cooler that came with your boxed cpu was sufficient for all but extreme OC'ing?
