Nvidia will officially introduce liquid cooling from the next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors to be released in the October-December quarter. It means using liquid to cool the heat generated during the learning and inference process of AI servers. Until now, air-cooled cooling using cold air from air conditioners has been mainly utilized to cool the servers.
According to the IT industry, Nvidia plans to unveil a new cooling method that adds liquid cooling to existing air-cooled systems at a semiconductor conference opening on the 25th. A method that passes warm water through the servers to cool the heat is promising. Nvidia expects the new cooling method to reduce power consumption by up to 28%. With Nvidia, which holds nearly 90% of the AI semiconductor market, introducing liquid cooling in earnest, significant changes are expected in the server market.
