New Cooling Breakthrough: Fans May Be Gone

"The Exynos 2600 has a new cooling trick called Heat Pass Block. It sits over the chip and moves heat away faster. Early reports say it can cut temperatures by about twenty percent. If true, phones could run hotter without making noise. Samsung’s design may let the chip hit higher speeds—some say up to five gigahertz. That would give better gaming and video performance, but it also means more heat. Other makers use tiny fans to keep things cool, yet those fans can be loud and still leave the chip warm.A recent comparison showed a phone with a fan running at forty‑seven degrees while another without a fan stayed below thirty‑nine. Fans help, but they aren’t perfect. The new Heat Pass Block could replace them if it works well in real life. We don’t yet have field data, so the claim is still unconfirmed. Tech reviewers will need to test phones with this new system before deciding if fans are truly obsolete. "
