To support the AI data center, chipmakers are producing increasingly powerful chips, which now consume more power too.
As infrastructure leaders look to pack more power into the same space, average data center densities are rising dramatically. For the most part, increasingly power-hungry data center IT equipment (ITE) is being fit into the same data center footprint as previous generations. Average server rack density has been rising steadily. And while average air-cooled server deployments remain approximately 10 kW per rack, some more recent air-cooled deployments are reaching five times that level and liquid cooled AI deployments can be as high as 50X the average air-cooled density.
Because AI applications run at those much higher densities, high density data center deployments be the norm in three to five years with the next generation of technology infrastructure.
