San Jose-based Intel-affiliated start-up Frore Systems has introduced a new cooling system for electronics that not only runs quieter than traditional fans, but also promises to help laptops achieve even better performance.The cooling system is called the “AirJet” chip and is created through a technological collaboration with Intel. The company promises that, depending on the configuration, the cooling system can increase the performance of a laptop from 50% to 100%.
The new fanless era for laptops
As you know, cooling solutions in laptops are generally inadequate or noisy. However, such fan-centric cooling solutions are also necessary because the processors in today’s laptops are more powerful than ever, but at the same time, performance drops due to heating due to their thermal budgets cannot be ignored. Therefore, a good cooling solution is essential.
The AirJet solution developed by Frore Systems does not use any fans and describes it as a solid-state cooling solution. Inside this chip are small membrane membranes that vibrate at an ultrasonic frequency. These membranes create a powerful flow of air into the AirJet through the intake holes at the top. The airflow keeps the processor constantly cool and heat is pushed out through separate vents on the back of the laptop. In this way, it is ensured that the processor does not experience thermal bottlenecks and it is possible to maintain high-level performance for a long time.
The AirJet Mini and Airjet Pro achieve all this successful cooling and the performance increase due to cooling by producing only 24 to 29 decibels of sound. This volume is less than a whisper. On the other hand, in addition to all this, AirJet chips are only 2.8mm thick. Therefore, laptops can become much thinner thanks to this system.
Frore Systems states that the AirJet Mini and Airjet Pro will launch on laptops starting next year. And according to the company, its systems are also suitable for gaming-focused smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. A desktop-based AirJet chip may also be in the future. Finally, let’s add that the company will introduce the technology in detail at CES 2023.
