Smartphone Processors Getting Hot

It’s global warming in smartphone processors. From Cult of Android:

DigiTimes notes that conventional “graphite plus foil cooling” methods are no longer able to dissipate enough heat in modern smartphones, especially those with 4G chips built-in, and so overheating is becoming an increasing concern. An affective way to tackle that is to use ultra-thin “heat pipes” that circulate cooling liquid around the internals of the device.

DigiTimes rumours are usually not very accurate as noted by most people but there’s no doubt that new iterations of smartphone processors will eventually get too hot unless there are new designs or technologies (such as liquid cooling mentioned in the same article referenced above) in the making.
