Gallium wird auch hochrein, was für High-Tec Kommunikation benötigt wird. Ich denke Isonics wird demnächst sehr stark wachsen! Wenn nur AMD ein Kunde von Isonics wird und AMD bloß 10 Millionen Prozis auf dieser Basis herstellt, schießt der Umsatz gewaltig in die Höhe (10 Millionen x 10 Dollar/Stück) Improvements in other physical and electrical properties are also theoretically possible. It has been demonstrated in the laboratory that isotopically pure Si-28 has 60 per cent better room temperature thermal conductivity than natural silicon with its three isotopes. This more perfect crystal structure exhibits reduced phonon-phonon and phonon-electron interactions which increases certain transport properties, such as thermal conductivity. By purification at the sub-atomic level, it is possible to remove essentially all of the Si-29 and Si-30 leaving isotopically pure Si-28, which has a more perfect crystal structure. Silicon exists in nature as three stable, non-radioactive, isotopes: Si-28 (92 per cent), Si-29 (five per cent) and Si-30 (three per cent). Isotopically pure silicon is chemically the same as regular silicon and can be used in existing manufacturing processes without any changes. This compares with $10-30 for a fan and heat sink and looks a far better bet than a closed-loop cooling system costing several hundred dollars. Isonics believes it can profitably provide isotopically pure silicon bulk wafers for less than $10 per microprocessor, possibly much less. Closed-loop cooling systems can increase the performance of existing designs, but they would cost more than the microprocessor itself. Intel`s new Pentium 4 is rated at around 50W. Heat sinks and on-board fans are not practical when CPU power goes above 100W. Isonics won`t confirm it`s working with AMD, stating only that "a major microprocessor manufacturer has modeled isotopically pure silicon wafers and has told us that the peak temperature of their advanced 1GHz microprocessor was reduced by 35 degrees celsius." When we cast doubt on AMD`s abilty to produce an Athlon running at 1.7GHz that wouldn`t run so hot it melted the solder on the mobo, we received the usual flood of `you`re in Intel`s pocket` emails.īut in among the venom lurked an interesting item: a reader claimed that, for over 12 months, AMD has been quietly producing test chips using a new, pure version of silicon with greatly enhanced thermal properties, making a 1.7GHz Palomino a more practical proposition.Ĭalifornia-based Isonics produces an isotopically pure silicon which has much better thermal conductivity than natural silicon, meaning that heat can be removed more effectively. Hier noch mal die Meldung von The Register:ĪMD tests `super silicon` to beat heat problems Ich lade Euch alle ein so viele Infos wie möglich zusammenzutragen - Isonics könnte DER Renner sein. Nach reiflicher Überlegung habe ich mich entschlossen über einen kleinen Laden namens Isonics einen Thread aufzumachen.
