Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to enable a segmented heatsink. The electronic device can include a printed circuit board, a substrate, where the substrate is over the printed circuit board, at least two heat sources over the substrate, and a segmented heatsink secured to the printed circuit board, where the segmented heatsink has at least two independent heatsink segments, where each heatsink segment corresponds to at least one heat source and is configured to draw heat from the corresponding heat source. In an example, the heat sources are at a different height.
