With processing speeds getting faster laptops are also getting hotter and hotter.
“Laptops are very hot now, so hot that they are not ‘lap’ tops anymore,” said Avik Ghosh, assistant professor at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science. “The prediction is that if we continue at our current pace of miniaturisation, these devices will be as hot as the sun in 10 to 20 years.”
Researchers at the University are working to overcome the excess heat generating problem using nanoelectronics, expected to power the next generation of computers.
