The push toward higher densities and more complex thermal demands is forcing a reassessment of which cooling technologies can scale both economically and operationally. Multiple approaches remain in play, from advanced liquid systems to emerging chip level innovations, leaving the cooling landscape fragmented. This session takes a step back to evaluate where the market is heading, what is gaining real traction, and which approaches are proving viable at scale. This episode will discuss:

  • Which cooling approaches can realistically scale to support extreme densities
  • Whether two-phase methods are transformative or just another tool within a broader strategy
  • If any coolant or cooling architecture is emerging as a de facto standard
  • Assessing the capabilities of different cooling methods to handle AI heat load fluctuations
