Rising data center power requirements drive increasing heat flux, which measures the intensity of heat flow rate. More heat is flowing from similarly sized CPU/GPU socket areas, straining traditional data center cooling systems and pushing the limits of air-based cooling. At some point in the not-distant future, heat fluxes for the most powerful processors will be too high to manage with direct air cooling. Simply put, air is not nearly as effective a heat transfer medium as liquid, and at some point is unable to remove all the heat generated by high-power chips, resulting in artificial performance limits or equipment damage.
