Chip Aging Becoming Key Factor In Data Center Economics

By Ann Mutschler - 20 May, 2024 - Comments: 1

Chip aging is becoming a much bigger concern inside of data centers, where it can impact server uptime, utilization rates, and the amount of energy needed to drive signals and cool entire server racks. Aging in chips is the result of both higher logic utilization and increasing transistor density. This is problematic for data centers, in general, but especially for AI chips where digital log... » read more
