The Pyra s overheating problems on the sandwhiched SOC have not been resolved at all and now they are even considering adding a fan so late in dev stage. Far from finished I tell you.

I'm watching the Pyra project very closely, but I have never heard of these problems. Can you give me a source on this?

I know several folks who are actively working on the Pyra prototypes in hand and who voiced the exact same concern.

The Pyra cannot thermally sustain unthrottled operation indefinitely. Neither can any modern smartphone. This isn't regarded as a problem and definitely no one is considering adding a fan (in fact the cases are slated for mass-production this month).

Where did you get this idea?

The cases were stated for mass production a year ago already yet everything gets pushed bacl every now and then for tweaking. I would not bet on anythIng releasing in this year.
