CoolIT designs 15kW coldplate to future-proof liquid cooling for GPUs

Follows and improves on company’s 4kW coldplate design from last year

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing power density and heat output of next-generation GPUs for AI and high-performance computing necessitate more advanced and efficient cooling solutions.

Why it’s important

This development indicates a critical bottleneck in compute infrastructure (cooling) is being actively addressed, safeguarding the scalability of AI and advanced computing deployments.

What changes

The ability to cool more powerful GPUs with denser coldplates directly enables higher compute density per rack and ensures the thermal integrity of future data centers.

Winners
  • · CoolIT Systems
  • · GPU manufacturers
  • · Hyperscale data centers
  • · AI/HPC developers
Losers
  • · Air-cooling solution providers
  • · Data centers without liquid cooling infrastructure
Second-order effects
Direct

More powerful and compact AI servers can be deployed due to enhanced thermal management.

Second

This drives further demand for liquid cooling infrastructure and specialized data center designs.

Third

Increased compute density could potentially lead to more localized and distributed high-performance computing, impacting data center geography.
