Most likely a material like diamond dust or other non capacitive/inductive matrix.LOL !! Secret sauce = TIM as far as im concerned..
I wonder if the $25 intel insurance would cover the lid "popping off" by "itself"![]()
Or rest a known flat surface across it (razor blade). I think some waterblocks and regular heatsinks are already bowed slightly anyway? Not certain.Has anyone checked the flatness of the IHS yet? People use to be obsessed with that.. havent seen a comment about it yet.. Its a pretty easy measurement..
Anybody want to lap one?
Intel's new TIM:

I don't believe it's power density intel knows what the doing when it comes to die shrinks
QUOTE:You can also increase a chip’s dynamic power density by cramming more transistors into the same amount of surface area.

However there is 47.3% more surface area with 22nm compared to SB so there is no cramming involved.
Mater of fact intel had so much surface area they shrunk the die from 216 mm² to 160 mm² and they are able to keep the same density because there is 47.3% more surface are switching to 22nm
Thats incorrect IB at 4.8GHz oc is 277 watts load and stock it's 134W load. My SB at 4.8GHz is 233 watts.
Well, the problem is you are comparing two different systems... mobo's, ram, hdd, etc. So though it may not make up the difference, its tough to compare non like systems and come to a conclusion. That and, he mentioned stock you go to overclocked to prove your point... LOL!
incorrect.. It is only hotter at the core where the temps are taken. The heatsink only has to deal with 77watts vs the 95 of SB for example. The heatsink should still be quite cool to the touch on most occasions with IB.
Smaller die = less surface area. The die size is a measure of surface area.
They aren't talking about the amount of space a transistor takes up, they're talking about how many transistors are in a given die size.
