Anyway, this section gets more attention.

That is awesome, that they tolerate that much heat. I wonder how it will affect the other components around it, putting out that much heat.

I have a feeling they designed these to operate at 500*C as opposed to being able to produce 500*C. Thats some serious hardware, I wonder what kind of applications they have in mind for it.
