What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Genuinely differentiated thermal headroom for >10kW chips, but maturity is prototype-stage with unresolved manufacturing, leak, and silicon-integrity risks and no ship date — research signal, not an adoption candidate.
Next
Re-poll in ~2 quarters for a named fab partner, a third-party-verified sustained heat-flux benchmark, and any reliability/yield data; do not factor into near-term cooling roadmap.

Constraints

Blockers

No named blocker is present in the current public projection.
