Intel Stopped The Development Of CPU Thermoelectric Cooling Technology

     In 2020, Intel introduced a Cryo cooling technology based on a combination of thermoelectric cooling (TEC) and liquid cooling on the 10th generation Core "Comet Lake-S" processor, aiming to provide enhanced performance and a new overclocking experience for desktop computers.Cryo cooling technology is based on the Peltier effect and utilizes a combination of hardware, software, and coolers to accurately control cooling performance. The manufacturer of this cooling system integrates a thermoelectric (TEC) refrigeration board and control circuit inside the water cooling head. When the TEC board is powered on, the cold side of the TEC absorbs CPU heat, while the hot side transfers heat to the coolant inside the water cooling head to accelerate heat dissipation. The circuits and sensors within the system, in conjunction with intelligent software, can monitor the condition of the CPU to ensure that condensation does not occur around the CPU.

    Recently, Intel revealed in an update posted on its support page that the company has stopped developing thermoelectric cooling technology aimed at providing enhanced heat dissipation for its top processors. Therefore, Intel will no longer provide Cryo Cooling software support for its latest 14th generation Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" processor.
