Neat. I wonder if that makes Rowhammer more likely to occur.

- dboreham 9y agoProbably. Hotter usually means closer to not working for semiconductors.
- stmw 9y agoPossibly, although hotter fundamentally means more thermal noise, which might actually reduce correlations / ability to communicate effectively between adjacent circuits. Think of it as SNR (signal-noise-ratio) -- increasing temperature increases thermal noise (there are other kinds), and with the same signal, it should actually reduce the efficiency of the side channel. But it brings up a good question, I wonder if anyone has studied this...
