Been keeping an eye on that tech for a while. Looks very interesting for laptops and graphics cards.

    Efficiency doesn't seem too good, though. Last time I heard about them, it was something like 5W power to remove 20W of heat. Fans and heatsinks are probably more efficient than that.

    That's an efficiency factor of 4 right there. The design is likely limited by the surface area. If they manage to squeeze a heatsink in that will increase the capacity for heat removal.
