If we’re going to use chips in that package, we need to spread that heat. Roughly speaking, we need to spread the heat from a 1cm2 area to a 80cm2, or a circle with a radius of 5cm2.

oh lol you're right. i read that as "1x1cm and 80x80cm" rather than 1 and 80 square centimeters. i don't know why i did that.
