Xingu GPE-01, 130W/mK graphene thermal pad.
One of the problems that any computer or electronic product faces is the generation of heat, specifically the ability to transfer that heat to the cooling system that cools it. It’s been years since TIM LM connections were launched as such, and until today we haven’t seen anything truly revolutionary. And we’re talking until today because last night China demonstrated something that obliterates all previous records for thermal conductivity. We’re talking about Xingu GGE-01which will have a lot to talk about if it can outperform the rest of the processor’s thermals as expected.
Unfortunately, as we already know, thermal conductivity as a general quantity is a parameter that This does not correspond to the number of degrees we can remove from the CPU and GPU.this story is not like that. Thermal pastes, whether silicone-based or liquid, are a good example, and today we’ll look at this one, which is undoubtedly a step forward.
Xingu GPE-01, the most advanced thermal pad on the planet with graphene and 130 W/mK power
The figure is impressive, without palliatives, there is nothing even close on the market, neither traditional nor phase transition by liquefaction at a certain temperature. It’s interesting that thermal conductivity takes a backseat in favor of something as important as density and consistency, degradation and durabilitybecause, unfortunately, greater thermal conductivity is usually not synonymous with greater performance.
So, is this Xingu GPE-01 a marketing scam? It’s unclear, mainly because there is no comparative data as this is something completely new on the market, but we do have some mentions of the brand. From the little they said, we know that
There is a large amount of graphene inside.
and it will not be a phase change PCM type thermal pad.
Therefore, it is more similar to a traditional thermal pad than the new generation, and this has its advantages and disadvantages.
Intel Core Ultra 9 285K tested at 325W.
This is the processor and consumption figure provided by the company, and we understand that it is clearly under a good overclock. Under these conditions In Xingu GPE-01, the processor temperature is 3 degrees lower than the best silicone thermal pastes.or, what is the same thing, it will beat any thermal paste or thermal pad on the market, of any type, at a minimum.
It should be taken into account that from silicone thermal paste to liquid metal we can find an improvement of about 2 degrees Celsius, which is already quite a lot, although they seem like small numbers. The ability to outperform the best silicone options from mainstream manufacturers by 3°C implies, by definition,
be slightly ahead of the best liquid metalcreating a new link.
Additionally, Xingu claims that it will have a stable and hassle-free lifespan of up to 10 years, with a simple and clean installation that can be replicated between other CPUs or GPUs without issue. The price is unknown at the moment, but the company said it will be available first for Intel processors with LGA1851 connector and this is obvious Compatible with LGA1700.
