Comment on Shanghai scientists create computer chip in fiber thinner than a human hair, yet can withstand crushing force of 15.6 tons — fiber packs 100,000 transistors per centimeter

so they say this:

Enthusiastic claims by the university blog assert that a 1-meter fiber “could hold millions of transistors, reaching the power levels of a standard desktop computer processor.” But, we had to go back as far as the Intel Pentium III or AMD K6-2 to find PC CPUs with so few transistors. Both those legendary CPUs launched in the late 1990s, and they feature a smidgen under 10 million transistors each.

but that seems trivial when you take into accout:

The finished fiber has a tiny diameter, measuring about 50um.

What I really want to know is how its connected and how hot does it get. Im envisioning a spiral of coil that can be on a meshe with a fan blowing right out the case. That would be amazing. Or if it needs more connections then a series of parralell lengths. Its like could you put them on top of each other with mesh that acts as a good conduction or having every other water cooking channels?
