Cooling copper plates could slash data center energy use by 90%
In 2025, data centers consumed 485 TWh of electricity. Thirty percent of that, more than the entire annual power consumption of Sweden, went to cooling. Scientists have developed a 3D-printed copper-plate cooling tech that can slash this figure by over 90%!The technology combines a mathematical algorithm with 3D printing to create pure copper cooling plates that dramatically outperform conventional cold plates used in direct-to-chip cooling systems. According to the researchers from the Universi...
