Wonder if Intel will use that to replace the thermal interface between chip % lid a couple cpu's down the line :)

Looks a bit big.

This project has a long road ahead of it. The cooling material might take heat out of the chip but there's still the question of getting the heat from there out of the system.

i hope they can make this a bit smaller then it could be a top seller
