Upcoming Intel CPUs could push maximum temperature limits to 105 Celsius

Oops! Apple's M3 uses the same node as these upcoming CPUs. Nor do transistors care about "overall power consumption", but only the localized temperature they themselves experience. Cerebras makes a CPU that doesn't simply consume 100 watts or even 1,000, but a staggering 23,000 watts. It works just fine ... because the temperature at any point on that (extremely large) chip is similarly constrained.

M3 is not M2.

Small CPUs have more problems with local temperatures for obvious reasons. That Cerebras AI chip is over 100 times bigger than CPUs we are talking about, no comparable.

M3 is not M2.

Oops! M3 allows an even *higher* temperature limit than M2 -- or these upcoming Intel cpus.

Who told you this nonsense? A small chip will have more trouble dissipating a given amount of power than a larger one. But if transistors at a given frequency on a particular process node can stably run at a given temperature, the overall chip size is irrelevant.

And? M3 is still not M2. Stop derailing.

It's pretty much impossible to measure Every transistor temperature individually. Smaller core = more possibility that some transistors get too hot.

Inanity like this is what gives Internet forums a bad rap. The OP mentioned M2 as it reaches temps as hot as Intel's new chips. You countered that M2 uses a different process node. Well, M3 uses the same process node as these Intel chips **and** gets hotter than both them and M2.

Now give it a rest.

Smaller core = more possibility that some transistors get too hot.

Not in the laws of thermodynamics that apply to this universe.
