The 2025 NVIDIA GTC conference made one thing clear: the AI revolution is here — and it’s power-hungry. As GPU clusters scale at an unprecedented rate, the ability to cool these systems effectively is becoming the next critical performance bottleneck.
In his expert analysis, Phononic CPO Larry Yang explores how data center infrastructure must evolve to meet this challenge. Traditional cooling methods are quickly falling behind in efficiency and scalability. In contrast, Phononic’s solid state thermal platform offers a fast, responsive, and energy-efficient solution — already validated in mission-critical applications and ready to meet the demands of AI-driven environments.
From 120kW Blackwell racks to future 600kW Rubin Ultra deployments, to the rapid adoption of co-packaged optics (CPO), Larry outlines how innovation in cooling is no longer optional — it’s essential.
