Microsoft reveals microfluidic in-chip cooling that reduces GPU temp rise by 65% and outperforms cold plates by 3× ...

Microsoft showcases new custom cooling plates that use microfluidics to carry liquid coolant into microscopic channels on the back of silicon chips.

Although Microsoft focuses on data centers, it raises the question of how well this might cool future CPUs and GPUs for consumers.

This method differs from conventional cold plate technologies, which are separated from the chip by several thermal layers and are reaching their efficiency limits as processors ...
