NVIDIA is in discussions with major South Korean power equipment manufacturers to design high-voltage data center infrastructure. The talks focus on implementing 800-volt direct current (DC) systems to improve efficiency for the company’s high-power processors.
The initiative aims to reduce power conversion stages and decrease copper usage within data centers. These technical shifts are intended to lower operational costs and the environmental impact of AI and high-performance computing platforms.
This move addresses the significant energy consumption of modern data centers globally. Market reaction to these discussions has not yet been reported.
