The most compact processor globally [AMD 3950x]
The most compact processor globally [AMD 3950x]
This demonstration shows a phenomenon called wringing. When two nearly flat surfaces come into contact, they stick together due to intermolecular forces. Both the 3950x and the waterblock in the video were polished to within 300nm (0.3μm) error. This precision is significantly higher than the closest measurement I could locate for a CPU that had been sanded: https://www.ocinside.de/workshop_en/intel_ihs/5/
I'd appreciate seeing thermal benchmarks for this compared with thermal paste.
