❄️ New: Microsoft has unveiled a breakthrough cooling technology that could fundamentally transform how AI chips handle heat, potentially revolutionizing data center design and efficiency.
The tech giant said it has achieved on-chip cooling using “microfluidics” – an AI-assisted technology that uses embedded liquid channels on the silicon itself.
Microsoft said the technology results in a 65% reduction in maximum temperature for GPU silicon, which purportedly beats traditional cold plate cooling by three times.
“If you’re still relying heavily on traditional cold plate technology, you’re stuck,” Microsoft’s Sashi Majety, senior technical program manager for cloud operations and innovation.
