At the recent Hot Chips conference at Stanford University, people arrived to the conclusion that the chip makers just don't care about the heat problem.

During this conference, Bernie Meyerson of IBM declared that it was stupid for the industry to keep pursuing the highest performance for chips at the cost of power efficiency. He pretends that since the 80s, he has seen chip designers go off the power cliff twice.

He pointed out that now, chips give off more heat per square inch than a steam iron!

We expect that Calor releases an iron using a Pentium4 running Windows Vista.
