fyodor re <<Regardless of how you do your math, that was exactly their claim.>>

That claim is 100% meaningless unless they provide boundary condition to the thermal model used. They could have used diamond heat spreaders coupled with liquid hydrogen to cool the die. When such exotic methods are used, then the thermal resistance of the die becomes a larger contributing factor to the overall thermal impedance.

I can assure you one thing, this 35% reduction did not happen based on standard cooling methods.

Fyo,

the peak temperature of their advanced 1GHz microprocessor was reduced by 35 degrees celsius.

I think we would have to know something about the processor and the environment in which it operated to come to a reasonable conclusion.
