Coolchip close to launching a low-profile kinetic cooler

The Tech Report writes Coolchip is bringing out a low-profile "kinetic cooler". This type of cooler uses an air bearing heat exchanger, instead of coming with a fan it rotates the heatsink itself. This cooling concept promises to reduce the amount of energy required to cool the heatsink, while also lowering noise volumes.

The cooler is really small but is designed for Intel CPUs with a TDP of maximum 70W. Pricing and availability is unknown.

The teaser image was posted on the company's Facebook page, and it apparently depicts a "low-profile kinetic cooler" for Intel processors with TDPs up to 70W. While that dissipation figure isn't especially impressive, this thing is smaller than even the Intel stock cooler, and it should be very quiet.
