•We experimentally prove a novel concept for highly efficient liquid cooling of non-uniform power maps.•It uses rationally distributed microchannel structures which passively target cooling on hotspots.•Hotspot-targeted embedded microstructures minimize chip temperature non-uniformity.•This is achie...
