For comparison’s sake, on Intel’s 45 nm process, a single Atom
core with L2 cache is 14.1 mm squared. AMD is using TSMC’s 40 nm
process, which is a half node away from Atom’s process. There would
be roughly a 15% decrease in die size due to the shrink, so we would
still be talking around 12 mm squared for the Intel Atom on 40 nm. If
these performance figures are correct, then AMD has done an absolutely
amazing job with the Bobcat CPU in terms of processing density in a
low power configuration."

When it comes to heatsinks little changes but just when you think that it's all been done someone comes along and says they can do better. Sometimes it's with a new design or shape, other times it's using TEC cooling, and then sometimes it's just plain ol' size. Noctua has recently introduced the NH-D14 and D14 apparently means "monster". This has to be the largest heatsink I have ever seen and now it's sitting on our workbench today begging to be tested, let's jump in.
