Yea but they will figure that out. We have phones that are slimmer and faster that can handle cooling just fine. I m sure Nvidia will figure it out if they actually do it. Maybe even make the smaller very a bit fatter to compensate.

There is nothing to figure out. It's simple physics. They only thing they can do is cut the clock speed of the chipset to reduce heat output. Sure in a few years they could produce the same chip on an even smaller manufacturing process to allow for a smaller form factor, but the only way to achieve this and hit their early 2017 launch date it go with a larger form factor. 

I m pretty sure they can add in heatsinks and etc to dissipate the heat. Just make it a bit fatter to compensate... That is generally what companies do if they have this problem.
