Frore Systems at Computex 2024: 2x faster Arm Laptops, Smartphones, HDMI Sticks, Edge Computing, SSD

Video Description

Seshu Madhavapeddy, CEO and co-founder of Frore Systems, introduces AirJet, the world's first solid-state active cooling chip. Unlike traditional mechanical cooling solutions like fans, the AirJet is extremely thin at 2.5 mm and operates silently. This innovation is poised to revolutionize the industry by providing efficient heat dissipation in ultra-thin and compact devices, as well as in dustproof and waterproof enclosures. Madhavapeddy highlights that traditional active cooling solutions, which require vents, often lead to dust accumulation and reduced device performance over time. In contrast, the AirJet eliminates this problem by allowing devices to remain sealed and thus free from dust infiltration, potentially extending their lifespan significantly. At Computex, Madhavapeddy showcased various applications of the AirJet, including its integration with ARM-powered laptops and smartphones. He noted that while ARM processors are known for their efficiency, their increasing power necessitates effective cooling solutions. The AirJet can enable devices like the iPad Pro to perform at levels comparable to or even exceeding those of MacBooks by significantly enhancing their thermal management. Demonstrations included an iPad Pro equipped with AirJet Minis, which improved its performance by 55% without compromising its slim form factor. This indicates the potential for ARM-based devices to run more intensive operating systems like macOS at full performance if equipped with adequate cooling. The AirJet's benefits were further illustrated with a MacBook Air rigged with three AirJet Minis, which allowed the device to utilize the full performance of its M3 chip. Without altering the laptop’s thickness, the AirJet enhanced its thermal envelope, showcasing its ability to maintain high performance in thin devices. This is critical for leveraging the full capabilities of modern processors, which are often throttled due to heat constraints. Madhavapeddy emphasized that the AirJet maintains silent operation and dustproof qualities while improving performance, making it an attractive solution for thin laptops and other compact devices. In the gaming smartphone sector, the AirJet was shown to boost CPU performance by 40%. By integrating just one AirJet Mini, a smartphone could achieve significant performance gains without sacrificing form factor or generating additional noise. This improvement is particularly beneficial for gaming applications, where sustained high performance is crucial. The ability to maintain high CPU power levels without overheating enhances the user experience, allowing for more immersive and extended gameplay sessions. Madhavapeddy also explained the scientific principles behind the AirJet, which utilizes high-velocity pulsating jets of air to remove heat efficiently. These jets, reaching speeds of 200 km/h, impinge on a copper bottom, absorbing and expelling heat. This innovative approach ensures that devices can maintain optimal temperatures even under high workloads, further underscoring the AirJet’s potential to replace traditional cooling methods in various electronics. The versatility of the AirJet was demonstrated through its application in the Nvidia Jetson Orin NX processor, a high-performance AI computing solution. By replacing traditional fan-based cooling with AirJet technology, the performance metrics improved across the board. The AirJet pack not only delivered better cooling but also maintained a thin, silent, and dustproof profile, illustrating its effectiveness in industrial and edge computing scenarios. Mass production of the AirJet is already underway, with manufacturing facilities in Taiwan. Frore Systems collaborates with several partners to integrate this technology into new products. The unique manufacturing process of the AirJet, which combines innovations from various industries, allows for the production of these advanced cooling chips at scale. Madhavapeddy expressed optimism about the widespread adoption of AirJet, predicting that it will transform the thermal management landscape across multiple device categories. Lastly, Madhavapeddy highlighted future prospects for the AirJet, including its potential in even smaller form factors like smartphones. The company aims to double the performance of its chips every two years, making them increasingly powerful and efficient. This ongoing innovation could eventually enable smartphones to serve as desktop replacements, fulfilling a long-held dream of integrating mobile and desktop computing capabilities seamlessly.
