I’m of the opinion that this is why liquid cooling is so important to next gen hw. I think they’re going to start spreading out the chips more and sandwiching them like with the dh200s Nvidia is working on
Absolutely. 3D stacking is becoming viable too, as AMD has proven with their X3D chips with massive gobs of L3 cache stacked on top of the logic dies. Vertical stacking and sheer die size is going to make total power density only continue to go up.
Liquid cooling has become more needed because processors and gpu’s have become outrageous power hogs. Desktops needing 1,000 watt psu’s is just outrageous.
That’s not really true, except at the ultra high end. My 4070 barely draws more than my old 1070. The 4080 draws the same as a 3080 with double the performance.
I would argue water cooling is far less needed today. What has changed is Nvidia selling chips that would have been considered extreme aftermarket overclocking 10 years ago.
