This is putting a pressure on packaging cost and cooling strategies- Plastic vs. Ceramic package, Heat sink, Fan Reliability » High power systems tend to run hot and high temperature tends to exacerbate several silicon failure mechanism = Every aodegree rise in operating temperature roughly doubles a component failure rate. Less reliable due to increased rate of electro migration = Circuits are slower at higher temperature
