The latest wave of AI‑intensive data centres is reshaping cooling strategies. Google’s planned 780‑MW Minnesota AI campus will fund 1,400 MW of wind, 200 MW of solar and 300 MW of battery storage to keep the grid cleaner, while promising not…

Key developments: Next‑generation GPUs are now drawing more than 250 kW per rack, making traditional air‑cooling infeasible and pushing the industry toward direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling, which can cut energy use by 30‑60 % and handle power densities above 40‑50 kW per…

Key developments: 2026 marks a tipping point for data‑center thermal management. IDC reports that roughly 75% of providers already run AI‑focused racks and predicts that 90% of high‑performance deployments will rely on direct liquid cooling by 2027, up…
