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."

    the perceived 'hotness' would be just going UP.

    peltiers don't just put the heat into some magic black hole.
