[citation][nom]bombat1994[/nom]the one thing that i must state that the one thing holding back the cpu industry is not, transistor sizes or cpu speed. its heat. cpu performance could be instantly doubled if heat was not a question. look at the amd phenoms under liquid nitrogen, 7.0GHZ. if a mechanically viable material that was much more capable at high temperatures or if it didnt care for heat at all, we would see great improvements in everything.Look at the car industry, toyota has started to really push there ceramic engine. the ceramic engine has a much higher heat compacity than steel nearly double. car performance and efficiency would be greatly improved, because not only does the engine less energy through heat transfer, but the need for a cooling system is all but eliminated. so a radiator is not required.if this happened in a computer the thing could be near silent. personally i thing that fans, and hardrives are the loudest component of the computer. so a laptop would be silent if it had a ssd then the noise problem is solved.but it is still interesting how close they can get to the quantom limitations[/citation]
The material you speak of is called diamond (it's a much better conductor of heat than silicon). But I don't think there is a economically viable way of making the diamond that could replace silicon. I know it can be done, but its expensive right now.
