Sugar daddy-enhanced chip company AMD has just teamed up with Celsia Technologies in order to develop a vapor chamber-based cooling solution for high-end graphics cards. The upcoming cooling system will make use of Celsia's NanoSpreader, a patented copper encased two-phase vapor chamber into which pure water is vacuum sealed.

"Working with AMD, we were able to meet all of the design criteria for a new GPU cooler. Namely, it had to be lighter, perform better and be lower cost than the current heat pipe based design," said Joe Formichelli, Celsia's CEO. "Unlike thermal modules using heat pipes, our two phase NanoSpreader comes in direct contact with the heat source whereby removing costly, heavy base plates."

The two companies haven's said anything about when we'll see a result of their collaboration. Most likely they'll have something to show off in 1H 2009.
