Air cooling can no longer keep up with AI. The data center liquid cooling market is growing at 50% annually and has already captured 46% of the market. In this episode of The Power Allocation, we explain why direct-to-chip and immersion cooling are now mandatory for AI infrastructure.

Key topics covered:

  • Why AI accelerators generate heat densities air cooling cannot handle
  • The $11 billion liquid cooling market projected by 2030
  • Direct-to-chip vs. immersion cooling technologies
  • NVIDIA's hot water cooling architecture at 45°C
  • Why legacy data centers cannot compete for hyperscaler AI workloads
  • The difference between "AI-ready" marketing and actual AI-capable facilities
