- readams 8y agonot sure why you're being downvoted, but it's worth mentioning that the temperature is not what matters here but rather the heat generation per area. The temperature is a function of how quickly the heat can be pulled away as well as the heat generation.
- Zanni 8y agoThanks for the clarification.
- earenndil 8y ago> per unit area A CPU is a lot smaller than both a nuclear reactor and the sun.
