Thermal Throttling

White Paper Argues Single-Phase Liquid Cooling Can Handle Next-Gen AI Chip Heat

A newly released white paper examines how single-phase direct liquid cooling addresses escalating thermal loads in AI and high-performance computing systems, where individual chips now exceed 1,000 watts and racks can dissipate over 100 kilowatts. It compares this approach against two-phase and immersion cooling methods, and outlines how liquid cooling works at both chip and system levels.

Portable chargers hit thermal limits despite wattage claims, industry pivots to active cooling

Portable power devices often list peak wattage on the box, but real-world performance drops as heat builds up during charging—especially in magnetic wireless chargers, where the induction coils sit in direct contact with the phone. For years manufacturers have relied on passive materials like graphite sheets and heat spreaders to manage that heat, but these can only slow warming, not stop it, once a compact enclosure hits its thermal ceiling.
