This article made me think of a strange claim by Elon Musk at 07:08 in this [1] interview:
"Cooling is actually much easier in space than it is on earth. You can just radiate to the vacuum."
I don't think that follows. The radiator is only the final heat sink. You still need to move heat from very dense chips into a deployable, space-rated radiator, and handle pumps, loops, leaks, redundancy, radiation damage, replacement, eclipses, Earth IR/albedo, and launch mass.
