Frore Systems made waves at CES 2024 with the launch of its AirJet Mini Slim, a second-generation cooling solution that adheres to the principles of what the company humorously calls “Frore’s Law.” This law mirrors the spirit of Moore’s Law but focuses on doubling cooling performance every two years while maintaining the same Z-height or, alternatively, reducing the height without compromising cooling capabilities.
In the case of the AirJet Mini Slim, Frore opted for the latter approach, reducing the thickness from 2.8mm to a mere 2.5mm while maintaining an impressive 1750 pascals of air pressure at only 21 dBA of noise. Not only did the slimming down occur, but the weight was also minimized to a remarkable 8 grams. What sets this cooling solution apart is its self-cleaning mechanism, reminiscent of a ShopVac, allowing it to reverse airflow and automatically clean its filters at programmed intervals. With the inclusion of a thermal sensor, the cooling solution intelligently activates at preset temperatures, eliminating the need for additional controllers.
Frore’s commitment to innovation was demonstrated in real-time at their booth, showcasing applications from Apple MacBooks to SSDs, where the AirJet Mini Slim replaced traditional heat sinks. According to Frore engineers, the versatility of their MEMS-activated membrane allows them to enhance suction by adjusting various parameters, ensuring continued adherence to “Frore’s Law” by either expanding membrane features or reducing the chip’s thickness.
In essence, Frore executives believe that “Frore’s Law” has successfully struck a balance between cooling capabilities and thickness, paving the way for future generations of AirJet chips.
