Managing The Huge Power Demands Of AI Everywhere
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Before generative AI burst onto the scene, no one predicted how much energy would be needed to power AI systems. Those numbers are just starting to come into focus, and so is the urgency about how to sustain it all. AI power demand is expected to surge 550% by 2026, from 8 TWh in 2024 to 52 TWh, before rising another 1,150% to 652 TWh by 2030. Commensurately, U.S. power grid planners have do... » read more

Advanced Packaging Drives Test And Metrology Innovations
By Gregory Haley - 12 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Advanced packaging has become a focal point for innovation as the semiconductor industry continues to push for increased transistor density and better performance. But the pace of change is accelerating, making it harder for the entire ecosystem to keep up with those changes. In the past, major developments were roughly on an 18-month to 2-year cadence. Today, this is happening every few mon... » read more

Batteries Look Beyond Lithium
By Bryon Moyer - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Lithium batteries dominate today’s rechargeable battery market, and while they have been wildly successful, challenges with lithium have spurred research into alternative chemistries that can improve on some of lithium’s downsides and still keep as many of the upsides as possible. So far, none of the alternative batteries has seen commercial success, but several variants have moved beyon... » read more

Liquid Cooling, Meeting The Demands Of AI Data Centers
By Barry Pangrle - 04 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Many Porsche “purists” reflect forlornly upon the 1997, 5th generation, 996 version of the iconic 911 sports car. It was the first year of the water-cooled engine versions of the 911, which had previously been based on air-cooled engines since their entry into the market in 1964. The 911 was also the successor to the popular air-cooled 356. For over three decades, Porsche’s flagship 911 w... » read more

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

Quantum Confinement And Its Effect On The Thermoelectric Performance For Thermal Management
By Technical Paper Link - 03 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled “Enhanced thermoelectric performance via quantum confinement in a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor for thermal management” was published by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories and Kansas State University. Abstract: "The performance of thermoelectric devices is gauged by the dimensionless figure of merit ZT. Improving ZT has proven to be a ... » read more
