Intel's Perlmutter eyes thinner laptops for Haswell chips

11.09.2012

Getting high-performance chips into thin laptops can be a challenge for engineers because of the heat generated by the chips. Laptops need to efficiently remove heat from the processor and often use elaborate heatsinks to funnel it away from the heart of the laptop. But heat engineering and managing airflow gets more difficult when there is less space available inside the computer.
