DCE: Further photos of the Pegasos II online : Comment 23 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by takemehomegrandma on 21-Oct-2003 14:35 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (bennymee): > Could it be possible to have a G4 with cooling with only a passive cooler.
> With the use of a custom (copper) heatsink ?
Well, the G4 that is used in the Pegasos is AFAIK one the most modern (and cool) ones, the MPC7447. It is 0.13-micron unlike many older ones seen in old Macs. A quote from Motorola's 7447 webpages:
"Building on Motorola's continued innovation and performance leadership in the high-performance host processor market, the MPC7447 achieves two major milestones in the embedded world: It delivers 1.3 GHz of performance--making it Motorola's fastest PowerPC™ processor available for embedded applications. It also dissipates less than 10W while running at 1GHz--a critical threshold for many power-sensitive embedded designs."

They are probably talking about two different versions though, one with focus on high performance, and one with focus on low power consumption/low heat. But in any way I think it would be possible to use a passive cooler, as long as it's big enough. |
