First step to sending probes to Venus that survive more than a few minutes.
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works · 27 pts · 150d
Something to finally compete with the Athlon.

Prescott shall remain untouched, of course.
PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social · 8 pts · 150d
Well yeah, nobody wants third degree burns.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 149d
at 700Celcius i dont think you get 3rd degree burns anymore, probably catch on fire, or "charred remains"

The original smart grill
harmbugler@piefed.social · 17 pts · 150d
Now make one that can survive more than 7 Windows updates.
semperverus@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 149d
Thats easy, just stop using windows

Is there a unit conversion error here? Or do I massively misunderstand what "most" means?
200 F is 93 C so I'm going to guess unit conversion
magnue@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 149d
F scale doing what it does best.
dgriffith@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 149d
Perhaps they're talking about junction temperatures, but even then specialist components can only do 175 degrees C briefly.
cenzorrll@piefed.ca · 4 pts · 149d
Is "all" considered to be a subset of "most"?
100% of processors fail, which technically is more than 50%

All processors are computer chips, not all computer chips are processors.
ETA: The article seems to mention processors, but this appears to be a memory chip advancement.

My Ryzen 9 had a default boost limit of 90 °C, which caused a lot of stress to the rest of the cooling system in my PC but it didn't seem to have any problem running like that for a few hours. (Fortunately you can crank it down to something a bit more sensible in the BIOS.) My laptop will spike briefly over 100 °C, but only for a second or two. I can see the 'failure' temperature being a bit higher, but 200 °C seems unreasonably hot.
cenzorrll@piefed.ca · 4 pts · 149d
Yeah, that's kind of where my confusion comes from. 93C seems pretty low for a failure temp, my old AMD started throttling at around 90C, but I fully recognize that is pretty hot for a processor and "most" would fall below that. Unless they're meaning temperature at the transistors most fail at 200C. I can definitely see a temperature sensor reading a few 10s of C different from the actual working interface of transistors, where 90C might mean the transistors are around 150C.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 149d
Too bad that most CPUs can run at up to 100°C and some even a bit higher. I think I read so.ewhere 125°C fpr some special OC cpu chips
worhui@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 150d
That's one way to solve the AI data center cooling issue. Of course it would make the data centers deadly to support staff, so I anticipate that will make it to market.
ag10n@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 150d
There’s a reason they run laptops on the ISS, space data centres are a pipe dream without power generation and all the other necessary infrastructure.
Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 150d
It's to survive in a space datacenter with bad cooling.
HubertManne@piefed.social · 2 pts · 149d
support staff is cheap. more so when dead.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 149d
700degrees would likely degrade the structures housing the chips. and would likely make it even more expensive.
vk6flab@lemmy.radio · 11 pts · 150d
So .. not made from potato then?
WanderingThoughts@europe.pub · 7 pts · 150d
Is hot potato
LincolnsDogFido@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 149d
No, it is potato. That's why it still runs at the temperature of a baked potato after I let it cool for an hour

Do they weld the auxiliary components?

Researchers: "Not my department"

The computer chip like:
TwinTitans@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 149d
Will this help with Venus exploration?
dovahking@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 149d
Probably not. But now you can use your CPU as a stove too.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 149d
if we weld the circuits together it might.
