If these fans are grown on the silicon, how exactly do we get air to these fans? Silicon is too fragile, so they get encased in epoxy, which is what we see. I've never actually seen a chip with the silicon exposed other than showcase models.
So what are they going to do? Drill little holes in the casing? That'll do wonders for manufacturing costs, I'm sure.
Not really. RPM is angular velocity, which dosen't change like linear velocity. Linear velocity changes depending on how far away you are from the center (hence CAV CD-ROM drives read data faster from the edges).
