Quote:Yeah I was surprised with the results too. The incresed temps are more likely due to higher levels of resistance/impedance caused by using shorter wires (due to smaller die). Perhaps we've reached a point where the thermal benefits of requiring less voltage are outweighed by the higher electrical resistance. It will be very interesting to see what happens with the move to 14nm, but at least we'll have one more architecture revision to boost performance before then.
Anyway, regardless of the reasons, all testing so far points to one thing.....we're going to have to live with higher temps with ivy bridge.
That also makes no sense. Shorter wires would LOWER impedance. If the electrical resistance had increased than it makes no sense that the temps are much lower at stock settings compared to sandy bridge.
