Remember when the libs just wanted Bush and Reagan back?
Most gear is still air-cooled but that’s changing pretty quickly
Liquid cools like 3000x more efficiently than air, something like that
Also see ideas like this: https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2017/08/beat-heat-3d-chip-stacks-icecool/
I think IBM still has a 5Ghz mainframe chip out there but since multicore era frequency is mostly ~2-3 Ghz
electron tunneling is no match for Moore’s law…
I’m talking shit, but yes they do do something… state of the art is 3nm/5nm
The -nm is just marketing nowadays, not tied to a physical characteristic, so the smallest feature size isn’t really 3nm or 5nm, etc anymore but each node shrink is still meaningful and “smaller than the last one”
And to your point, chips be going up to 1000 watts! (Invest in liquid cooling and short the planet.)

2022 Panel Discussion: Facilitating Advanced Material Development for the Acceleration of Hypersonic Capabilities Accelerating hypersonic capabilities has been a major priority for DoD’s research and engineering efforts to stay ahead of rapidly modernizing adversaries. The extent to which hypersonic weapons are adopted for the future fight depends on a variety of technological limitations. Currently, DoD is working to advance alloys, coatings, and structures that can withstand the intense heat of hypersonic environments while also being stronger but lighter in weight. This session will ask experts from AFRL, NASA, Industry & Academia to provide their insight into the acceleration of hypersonic capabilities. Panelists will offer their perspective on the following topics:
Subsequent Challenges and Solutions to Developing Hypersonic Weapons
Advanced Materials Required for the Development of Hypersonic Weapons
Developing Functional and Resilient Hypersonic Capabilities
Panelists:
Dr. Charles D. Ormsby, Chief, Manufacturing and Industrial Technologies Division, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, AFRL
Dr. David Glass, Senior Technologist; Technical Advisor, Hypersonic Technology Project, NASA Langley Research Center
Dr. David Maranchi, Program Area Manager, Signature, Electromagnetics, and Energy, JHU/APL
Christina Bain, Director (Acting), Hypersonics and Advanced Materials, Lockeed Martin
Moderator:
Dr. Thomas Corke
Director, Hypersonic Systems Initiative
University of Notre Dame
Capitalist efficiency, etc - although I can barely work up the snark. It’s so goddamned terrible.
Someone on here was saying that these decent socialist-leaning leaders (in Jackson) finally were trying to better the city. Now I’m sure they’ll get pinned for this, even though it was years of austerity that did this.
