The challenge, particularly in a laptop form factor, is shuttling thermal energy away from the processor as quickly as possible.Ĭommon practice is to cover the CPU with a water-filled heat pipe or vapor chamber, both of which do a great job of drawing heat to where it can be exhausted out of the chassis. If you can keep them at lower temperatures for longer periods of time, they’ll reward you with better performance. Whether you’re gaming, rendering video, or compiling code, today’s CPUs are constantly trying to operate at their fastest frequencies (inside of strictly defined specifications, of course). When you need a better thermal interface material, you design it yourself Part 1: x15 and x17 laptops challenge physics with high-density performance.In this second chapter of our four-part series, we’re digging deep into a few of the technologies comprising Cryo-Tech. It formulated a new thermal interface material, shaped airflow through the system with four dynamically controlled fans, created tailored power states, and implemented a thermal control offset to limit CPU temperatures.Īll those electrical and mechanical innovations are part of Alienware’s Cryo-Tech engineering approach. The team had to come up with new ways of moving heat quickly and quietly. Dell’s engineers pulled out all the stops to build faster systems that are also sleeker than anything else in Alienware’s portfolio. What makes them so exceptional, though, is their ultra-thin form factors. It’s no surprise that they both serve up great performance. Alienware’s x15 and x17 gaming laptops feature today’s highest-end mobile hardware.
