That is only the time difference isn't it ? Tiny container will heat up faster but given a sufficient time, heat emitted by big candles will surpass small candles when thermal equilibrium is achieved.

What really matters is how the chips are constructed and designed to work. A big chip that is designed to run maybe 10000 tasks should be hotter than one small chip which is just running a single process. Of course, a chip in a small computer is going to run more processes than the bigger computer since you can only have limited chips on a small board of a small computer ... maybe this is the answer to my question  rclxub.gif

Just my rough guess wink.gif

Which is an important factor in designing heat sinks to remove the heat in the chips. The effect of it I believed has been mentioned by tgrrr in the post above. smile.gif
