Intel Receives Funding From The US Department Of Energy To Develop Next-generation Data Center Cooling Technology

       Intel recently announced that it has received approximately 12.2 million yuan in funding from the US Department of Energy to develop next-generation data center cooling technology that can handle power consumption of over 2000W. It is reported that data centers consume approximately 2% of the electricity in the United States, with cooling and heat dissipation accounting for up to 40% of data center power consumption.

       With the continuous improvement of performance, current heat dissipation technology can only handle power consumption of around 1000W, which cannot meet future needs. Over the next three years of the contract, Intel will collaborate with research institutions and industry leaders to develop innovative immersive cooling technology, including 3D vacuum chamber soaking technology, and provide a cooling testing platform and form specification definition. At the same time, Intel will also target the development of next-generation processors, optimize heat dissipation and energy efficiency, and improve the efficiency of two-phase immersion cooling systems by at least 2.5 times, reaching 0.01 ℃/W.
