Here we get a good shot of the Skived Fin Technology. I had to dig around on the net a bit to learn more about this technology. What I found is that most heatsink fins are bonded in some way to the base of the heatsink. Skived Fin Technology is the process of carving the fins out of a single block of material, thus eliminating the boding of the fins. This logically will provide better heat transfer than the bonding method.
