On-CPU Peltiers From AMD?

Posted by timothy on from the speculatoryism dept.

Hack Jandy writes "Remember those people who lived on the edge and put peltiers between their CPU and heatsink (or your favorite beverage)? A peltier is a devices that gets cold on one side and warm on the other when an electrical current passes through it. It looks like there is talk that AMD will actually incorporate some of these devices on the CPU according to Xbitlabs. AMD already incorporates some degree of the peltier effect with it's Silicon on Insulator."

    He has spent more than twenty-seven years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

    He colluded with alternating N- and P-type semiconductors to rob systems of thermal energy that wasn't his to begin with!
    Now he's cooling his heels in prison.
