Intel only recently announced their latest 12th Generation processors. These processors bring improved performance and better battery life. MSI is banking on the “Metaverse” as it moves forward with a new redesigned logo, slimmer, more powerful laptops and feature-packed offerings. The new lineup takes advantage of the latest and greatest from Intel and also NVIDIA.
In addition to bringing the latest from Intel and NVIDIA, MSI is also bringing a few new upgrades of its own. The company is introducing a new cooling technology they call “Phase Change Liquid Metal Pad” which has better thermal conductivity thanks to its change in state. According to MSI, as temperatures hit 58°C (136° F), the Liquid Metal Pad liquefies which allows it to fill the gaps between the CPU and thermal block providing better cooling. In fact, MSI is attributing a 10% increase in overall performance to its new cooling technology. This feature is making its way to most, if not all of MSI’s “Meta Ready” Laptops.
