Probably not what they're asking. Probably yes they're using more resources. Question is if we're going to find a way to tame the ever-climbing heat dissipation as we continue to create more powerful processors.
- egsmi 6y agoNot sure what “tame” means in this context. Performance per watt has been increasing every year for a long time and continues to do so [1]. So temperature is really just a design choice. One example, pick a performance get a power. Once you have a power, pick the mechanical system, get a temperature. It’s all just trade offs. If performance and enclosure was held constant over time then temperatures would go down, but few want that. [1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.11313.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.11313.pdf See figure 5
- schwartzworld 6y agoone would assume from the title that "tame" means "we can keep making things more powerful without making them hotter"
