No he delids it and makes a custom lid to call it his own obviously.

Or he just looked up random words.

Hehe, but honestly.. The CPU is the last things we need to make smaller... GPUs, Power Supplys, and Mobos need to be smaller.

PSUs should not be smaller

 

Smaller PSUs = more heat that is harder to remove.

heat inside PSU = more voltage ripple

more voltage ripple = the premature death of your hardware

 

so how can you combat heat ina small space?

Simple!

Attach a industrial leaf-blower

 

How can you combat heat in a small space without wearing hearing protection?

Watercooling....

 

Can we effectively AND SAFELY watercool coils today?

yes, but not in PC PSU size... larger ones yes... the small coils used in PC PSUs simply wont let enough water flow through any pipe intergrated into them to be efficient...

wait a minute that ITX Size Mobo GPU isnt enough ?

Nah :) I wanna have to use tweezers to build my PC :P

There are water coolable PSUs. :)

Can't have a metric ass ton of overclocking options that will realistically be used twice on a ITX/mATX motherboard. 

 

i'll pass on that.

There are water coolable PSUs. :)

in todays size, yes.

make them notably smaller - nope

 

Also, smaller PSUs means they use components that are closer to their theoretical maximum (like in laptop chargers). This means that unlike today where you DO have some headroom even at "100% load", smaller PSUs, to save space will be at 100% load when it IS at 100% load. That means more wear and tear on PSU components

Hardly a repost. The other poster was very vague and barely included anything. 

the source is about the same thing

the topic is about the same thing

the news is a week old, even linus already covered it on the wan show

I didn't see that someone else had posted about this already, and I just found out about this today so...

-snoop dawg-

So apparently I should be scared shitless if bomb making radicals, now have consumer access to labs with silicon and micro architecture structuring machines.

Whaaaaaaaaat

 

are you serious?

I guess you can go back to that Pentium 4 then.

The full article is behind a paywall if anyone knows a location of the full PDF it would be appreciated.

 

The abstract and editor's take on IBM's article: "End-bonded contacts for carbon nanotube transistors with low, size-independent resistance"

in the journal "Science"

IBM has more money than it knows what to do with. And the foundry was a loss. Chip sales are not. The Power 8s are a huge money maker. The servers and mainframes are huge money makers. Yes, cutting edge research is expensive, but IBM, much like Intel, has been at the forefront of a lot of innovations in the last 10 years. SMR was invented by IBM. HAMR was a collaborated invention with IBM. IBM still owns the most powerful and efficient server/supercomputer chip design (SAP benchmarks).

 

IBM is a roaring success.

Not to mention the revenue IBM is generating from municipalities with their smart cities infrastructure program(s).  Potential for longer term support contracts there too.

In a decade, we'll be talking about picometer manufacturing processes like we do with nanometers now.

This is a signature.

No, a gate 1000 pm ( 1 nm ) wide would be made of something like 5 atoms. Not feasible.

We may eventually find a better medium for computers than circuits and electrons.

OOooh! I know! We can extract brain cells and put them into cpus!

That'd actually make a pretty good sci-fi story.

Matter will still be made of atoms.

We'll probably switch to 3d even on processing units, like it's happening with memory

"IBM has revealed that graphene can't yet fully replace silicon inside CPUs, as a graphene transistor can't actually be completely switched off."

 

IBM has admitted investment has been so far a LOSS. This should be up to Intel to tackle, design and implement. IBM still has and always has had poor investing strategies. Hence, why they had to sell off their BIGGEST revenue input to make up for LOSS revenue.....

Thats because its needs more R&D which is what IBM is doing, technology research isn't a overnight job you know. 

System Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT 

RAM: 32GB 3600MHz

HDD: 1TB Sabrent NVMe -  WD 1TB Black - WD 2TB Green -  WD 4TB Blue

MB: Gigabyte  B550 Gaming X- RGB Disabled

PSU: Corsair RM850x 80 Plus Gold

Case: BeQuiet! Silent Base 801 Black

Cooler: Noctua NH-DH15
