You're talking about two different things. A high leakage chip (leaks power) and therefore runs cooler, whereas the opposite is true for a low leakage chip. It is about efficiency.

Also, low heat dissipation = means a hotter chip; no? The heat generated from current has to go somewhere.

Edit: Did you realize I highlighted a particular portion of your post? Don't try to throw blinds here.

no... a high leakage chips loses current.... so it needs more volt to stabilise it ... so it gets it hotter... lower leakage = less heat because they need less voltage to stabilise thus running cooler .....

High leakage means more power is turned into heat.

High leakage chips are more suited for LN2 because they are leaky transistors and like to use more voltage.

Low leakage is more efficient but less tolerant to voltage and puts out less heat in general.





Will you guys stop argueing and babbling like idiots and acting like you know everything now? I mean everyone.

high leakage or low leakage dont matter when you use LN2 or LHE



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity low leakage or high leakage wont matter ..... they all have the same resistance ... well if you reach that extreme cold point from what i could understand ....

Contradictions galore! Since you insist on me spelling it out in layman terms, let me oblige.

A high leakage chip is very inefficient at utilizing power (because of the leaks) so at say 1.20v, a high leakage chip will generally run cooler (than the more efficient, low-leakage chip). The low-leakage chip, because it utilizes power more efficiently also generates more heat because you have to realize that: input power = output heat. What you're describing is a process improvement, not a high leakage chip characteristic. The reason why high lekage chips are suitable for ln2 is simply because they can take more voltage; more voltage=more power=more heat <- needs to be cooled by ln2. Makes sense?

so fermi should dissipate less heat???? its an extreme high leakage chip.....


btw this doesnt compute.....

Seriously why is there so much Intel talk here?

maybe they want to steal amd's 15min of fame for the week....
