12 results about "Thermal Head" patented technology

Thermal Head is a component of a metrological device created to aid in development of new CPUs and chipsets. The first Thermal Head was constructed in 1996 by James Kerner. It was initially designed to control a slot 1 Intel processor's temperature while making computations in a test platform. A Thermal Head attached to a CPU may also increase a CPU's performance during computation. Today it is used for test/validation of a processor in conjunction with a Thermal Management System consisting of a temperature controller attached to the Thermal Head by way of an electrical umbilical.
