The temperature of the sun at its surface is ~5772 Kelvin. To get power per unit area, use Stefan-Boltzman: σ * T^4, σ * (5772 K)^4 ≈ 6294 W/cm^2. Dividing the sun's luminosity (power) by its surface area will also give a similar value.
A 815 mm^2, 250 W GPU will be 250 W / 8.15 cm^2 ≈ 31 W / cm^2.

- saagarjha 8y agoIt wouldn't be hotter (the temperature wouldn't change), but it would transfer more heat to you.
