The @NVIDIADC GB200 is the pinnacle of thermal and power engineering. This small board sucks 2,700 watts of power, with 1,200W for each Blackwell GPU and 300W for the Grace CPU and memory. Two boards fit in a slim 1U server (5,400 watts!) with liquid cooling...and room to spare.

AI sucks lots of power, but w the best way to cool eight 1000-watt GPUs (8,000W total)? Wiwynn has a two-phase immersion cooling tank that handles that nicely. It will soon handle up to 2,500 watts per GPU, or 20,000 watts per tank!

Intel's Next-gen CPUs will consume between 100 and 900W. Feel free to quote me.

Remember that time Gelsinger said we'd hit 30 GHz by 2010? (I do.) Well, they're getting closer... tomshardware.com/news/intel-lau…

3D DRAM is coming, and SK hynix is looking at putting the periphery under the 3D array - periphery on another die that's hybrid bonded underneath.

How many folks have noticed that 18% CPU performance increase for the Apple M2 is in multi-threaded work, not single-threaded? That means this isn't an IPC increase.
