Bezos has tens of billions, if not hundreds. He could support development of heat-resistant microchips, which would have countless applications.
Wat
Yeah, man, Bezos has tens of billions, if not hundreds! He could support the development of something that breaks the fundamental rules of physics EASILY!
He can go develop me a liquid nitro cooling setup.
Use so many fans he can power a wind farm
Shove his servers up his bum
Honestly i'm fine with any of the above
I doubt a microchip that doesn't need cooling, while still calculating reasonably fast, is possible.
It's possible if you make it a macrochip instead of a microchip.
Computers use electricity to do math. The more electricity you have, the more math you can do. In order to do the math, the electricity is handled in a way that outputs heat. Unfortunately, the most reliable, cost effective and plentiful materials that allow electricity to do a lot of math also get heavily impacted by heat.
modern cpus has an energy density on par with nuclear power plant cores.
they need cooling, money cant break physics.
