seems iffy, might be useful alongside traditional cooling.

1. high frequency stuff to drive this thing might make noise an issue. 2. wouldn't it have to be integrated into the chip your cooling to optimize the effectiveness? 3. the wording leads me to believe their "performance" is cooling to noise ratio and not just cooling.

IDGAF about noise as long as it doesn't sound like in a server closet, i just want to keep things under 90c with a margin for hot days, crapped out a/c.

this is just a solid state fan. cool for sure, potentially very useful (industrial/embedded will probably love it), but marketing needs to calm down.

In the PCWorld interview on YouTube they even showed an unbranded Intel laptop cooled by these chips and also mentioned that multiple device manufacturers are planning to put this technology inside their products this year. So I highly doubt this high frequency noise is an issue. They also explained that the traditional arrangement of having a vapor chamber between the CPU and the active cooling to move heat also works with this design without losing efficiency, and this way they also can increase the cooling capacity by putting more chips next to one another.

What's wrong with the marketing? It's marketed as solid state active cooling, where are they suggesting that it's more than that?
