Think of the last hotel room you stayed in. Was there an electric fireplace in it? We didn't think so.

If you owned a Vario Perfect, you'd obviously also need to own a tiny European sportscar to carry around in it.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade.
