280W TDP?! That's more than what a large refrigerator uses ..

>That's more than what a large refrigerator uses ..

That's partially due to good insulation in modern fridges. After all, if the insulation is perfect, you could run a fridge on 0W (assuming you don't open the doors).

Then it's clear what must be done in the CPU world -- we need to insulate our CPUs better and eliminate all heat transfer.

How's that? By powering them with Maxwell's Demon?

reminds me of how things were back in the days of the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition!

EDIT: Wow, the TDP of that was only 115 watts[0]. I remember thinking it was just a monstrous power-sucker of a CPU.

TDP does not reflect actual power draw. Actual power draw might be more, might be less. Either way, its like, eight normal computers.

Expect max around 430W...
