A cooling method that circulates coolant through cold plates mounted directly on chips to remove heat, increasingly used for high-density AI servers.
Nvidia has certified more than 30 cooling units under its DSX Ready program, and only five of them handle 2.5 megawatts. LG Electronics now owns one of the five, and the orders remain Nvidia's to place.

The grid-interactive stack unveiled in Shenzhen pairs a 1,280 kVA UPS cabinet and grid-forming storage with a thermal unit built for Ascend servers. Huawei wants buyers judging it on tokens per watt in place of PUE.

Digital Realty, CoreSite, DataBank and Colovore have filed construction calendars with Texas licensing regulators for new buildings around Dallas and Austin. The earliest of the four is due to finish in December 2028.

The opinion piece asks operators to keep a fluid biography from the fill date onward and to tie it to the racks each loop serves. It argues from mechanism.

In a TechTarget feature, two Omdia analysts argue that installed infrastructure and usable capacity are different things, and they name the power, storage, network and cooling dependencies that separate the two.

DataCenterDynamics does the arithmetic on CDU response lag and gets 19 to 58 seconds against accelerator power steps of tens of milliseconds. That leaves the reliability question sitting unmonitored at the chip junction.

The fight over data center water is argued in milliliters per query, while the most cited US projection says the deciding variables are which plant fills the power contract and which basin the campus sits in.

Hyperscalers absorb about two-thirds of AI outlay, so rack-scale kit is now packaged for sovereign clouds, neoclouds and enterprises that cannot staff a GPU fabric team.

Digital Realty, Equinix, Keppel and STT GDC each get 50MW on Jurong Island. Half the load must run on low-carbon energy, and liquid cooling is part of the deal.

The investment targets active liquid cooling meant to fit existing halls rather than new builds. Missing: any figure for heat removed, any price, any ship date.

Horizon 1 has been accepted by Microsoft, turning a $9.7bn contract into delivered capacity. Three more 50MW buildings are due at the Texas campus this year.
