Much as with MEMS speakers we will see plenty of competition in this sector, because there is a lot of overlap in how the devices work.Dave2D did a video on Ventiva's solution.

Much more energy efficiency than AirJets, but it has much worse static pressure.
This isn't MEMS now I've seen the video, it's ionic wind or electrohydrodynamic air movement.Dave2D did a video on Ventiva's solution.

How so?Once they figure out paramagnetism things will get interesting in this sector.
it’s just a re-inventing the wheel type thing. Centripetal fans can be up to 90% efficient (in terms of shaft work input vs the mechanical work done moving the air) I’ve yet to ever see a true efficiency figure from these companies doing MEMS or Ionic but I expect it is dismal.Frore claimed that they would double device performance every 2 years.
Well.... 2 years gone by since they first announced AirJet, and no 2x perf product announced at CES.
If they can't even deliver on that promise promptly after the first 2 years, I have serious doubts about them doing it multiple times.
This.People think they don’t like fans but what they don’t like is crummy underengineered noisy fans with sleeve bearings.
That comes at a considerable cost in bulk and weight though.or the Founders Edition RTX cards. Great thermal and acoustics
This.
People get confused when I say Noctua fans are noisy, so it must just be my personal sensitivity to specific frequencies their bearings give off, but daaayyyuuummm it's annoying.
I'm too lazy to switch out the one attached to my CPU heatsink, so the whole thing is running at low power all the time.
Lol those things are just relabeled airplane engines 😂🤣WHAT?? i can't hear you over the screams my Sanyo Denki San Ace Server fans are making in my rack room.
It's the opposite. Two slot card that can cool 600W chungus. It's a very sleek and compact card compared to others.That comes at a considerable cost in bulk and weight though.
A cost they have made zero effort to mitigate by using their industry moving power to change the standards in favor of a more physically stable layout for heavy x16 boards.
They are driving weight and bulk increases generation on generation and leaving customers with the potential price tag of x16 slot/mobo failure when it cracks, or when their extremely expensive gfx card PCBs begin to warp in tower configuration.
Partial opposite, as the compact design is enabled by much higher fin density. Overall the heatsink should be more efficient though, I would expect it to be lighter. The design also removes the backplate, which obviously helps with weight.It's the opposite. Two slot card that can cool 600W chungus. It's a very sleek and compact card compared to others.
Fins are thinner though. More surface are but not necessarily that much more weight.Partial opposite, as the compact design is enabled by much higher fin density.

AIB designs though... let's wait and see
Maybe by "doubling" they meant by making it twice as large and use twice the power. Shady marketing for sure. What they need is double the performance per watt of the same device, so same power use at double the CFM or half the power use at same CFM.Frore claimed that they would double device performance every 2 years.

That makes terrible somehow worse. So peak perf/watt needs to go up 3-4x and idle perf/watt needs to go up what, 10x, 20x?In traditional laptops, the fans turn off and the SoC is passively cooled by the heatsinks and some little baseline airflow. That doesn't quite work with just a vapour chamber (zero heat dissipation) alone, so the AirJets need to be constantly on, no?
Pretty sure they specifically said 2x perf/mm² every 2 years.Maybe by "doubling" they meant by making it twice as large and use twice the power
No, the active device is MEMS, which is a piece of semiconductor that deforms when voltage is applied - mechanical, but still solid.Saying it's "solid state" is marketing
That's what I mean by marketing. Just like peltier refrigerators(cooler is more accurate) it doesn't amount to much. Not everything "solid state" is awesome.No, the active device is MEMS, which is a piece of semiconductor that deforms when voltage is applied - mechanical, but still solid.
As opposed to a fan which requires 1 object to rotate around another, hence not solid.
Point of fact there's reason to believe that solid state Li ion batteries could be even more dangerous than the conventional aqueous kind because they are more densely packed and still likely won't prevent Li metal dendrites on their own without a secondary prevention measure.Not everything "solid state" is awesome
