Anonymous, 31 Jul 2018heat pipes are nice and all, but... where does it go? smartphone SoCs run at much lower temps ... moreIt's quite simple really. Air is not a good heat conductor in fact it is excellent insulator. Copper on the other hand is very good heat conductor and what it does is transfers heat away from SoC because now some of the energy from Soc is heating the copper tube. Energy dissipates along the copper tube which has now much more area to cool the hot air inside. Of course vent would help a lot but there just isn't a enough space inside mobile phone where you could install it.

As for a monitoring app, I don't think this will happen either. If it does, it will be a sign of confidence in the hardware. Being able to show off impressive results on every phone is pretty good, but I can see the marketing the department tearing their limbs off to prevent a possible PR disaster after someone uses the same thing to claim the hardware or feature sucks.

So basically what OnePlus do when you run a Benchmark app?

Nice. I just hope these turbo technologies don't lead to turbo overheating.

heat pipes are nice and all, but... where does it go? smartphone SoCs run at much lower temps than desktop CPUs, obviously, but if it actually does something then it's gotta dump the heat somewhere. over the battery? maybe to the frame? i hope someone takes it apart, would be interesting to see what they did
also, if there's a hardware button for manually enabling turbo modes, which is cool, then it would be nice if they also included monitoring software so you can actually tell when you need the boost
