The fact is that the oldest will always remember the times Athlon and Duron and Pentium 3 when the IHS was anonymously known. And we came from an era where slot processors were very common and included the heatsink itself.
So why did both Intel and AMD make the jump to a system that was not initially useful to their superiors?
IHS: a great idea for a bad first kill
Before we begin we need to understand that IHS. It is basically a translation of Heat integrated Spreader or integrated thermos and it is nothing more than a piece of metal, usually an electrode and a nickel bath, which is responsible for the heat distribution produced by the processors' deaths.
As we say, its history dates from Athlon XP and Duron, as well as Pentium III, from before explorers used such IHS. The previous generation, for example, was slot processors, as if it were RAM, and the previous generation also didn't use that, but at least it covered the clay cover.
Thus, even after the rapid growth in consumer electronics, AMD and Intel realized that, due to the structures, lithographic process, use and fragmentation of their processors, they could not keep up with the road marked by this generation.
Consumption was decreasing to a large extent, so the intermediate and high resolution peak solutions began to expand further without a series of heatsinks. On the other hand, we were in the process of the MHz race, something that had nothing to do with architecture, but the numbers sold more than efficiency and CPI.
In addition, the average user entry into the CPU market with nonprofit professionals means that the number of CPUs they have the broken one dies was repeated for the number of RMAs.

The solution worked with a double function by using a piece of metal: first, it protected the dying from excessive pressure, correcting the bad and finally, the bad praxis. Second, increased the temperature to more than five times the death rate, to achieve the best possible fulfillment of the same healing solution.
The only problem the problem with both Intel and AMD is that computers available use the heat transfer limit from death to IHS, something that was later resolved with celebrities the heat.
Thus, IHS is nothing more than a a copper cone with a nickel plating bath used with CNC to protect the dead or dies the processor and thus improves its purification capacity.
Currently, IHS has come up short. It has changed its shape and size with the construction of a processor, of course, but beyond the larger size and the larger plain there are no major issues. Although some reputable companies have introduced the standard replacement of IHS, only in a few cases will it be possible to improve what Intel and AMD do, so we can be confident of this process.
