New CPU Manufacturing Process Could Save Data Centers Millions

摘要

Researchers at Binghamton University in New York recently announced a new technique in the manufacturing of microprocessors that will dramatically improve the cooling of computers, resulting in greater energy efficiency, as well as reduced costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Computer microprocessors are typically kept cool by a device known as a heat sink, which is composed of several metallic fins that are attached with a thermal paste. Some devices also include a small fan. The heat sink, which is made of copper or aluminum, helps keep the computer cool by dissipating the heat away from the processor.
