Intel is expanding its immersion cooling collaboration with Taiwanese partners to strengthen data center products for artificial intelligence workloads. This includes the development of the industry's first open IP complete immersion cooling solution and reference design. Partners such as Kenmec and Auras Technology will be key to Intel's implementation of its advanced cooling roadmap.
Intel has also partnered with the Taiwan Industrial Research Institute to establish a new laboratory to certify high-performance computing cooling technology that meets international standards. Intel aims to work with local ecosystem partners to accelerate next-generation cooling solutions for data centers in Taiwan and globally.
Advanced cooling technology enables higher performance within limited data center space, which is critical for the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Intel's superfluid-based modular cooling system can achieve more than 1,500 watts of heat dissipation and is suitable for high-density deployments.
Kenmec, meanwhile, offers a range of liquid cooling products, from coolant distribution units (CDUs) to custom Open Rack Version 3 (ORv3) water cooling cabinets, and its solutions are Intel certified.
As artificial intelligence workloads proliferate, Intel hopes to solidify its leadership in infrastructure by building an open, collaborative ecosystem around optimized cooling technologies. While driving the development of cutting-edge immersion and liquid cooling hardware, foster shared validation frameworks and best practices to ensure broad adoption.
As AI-focused data centers increasingly demand density, energy efficiency and reliability, cooling technology is no longer an afterthought. Intel has made significant investments in a robust cooling ecosystem, emphasizing cooling as a priority alongside silicon technology advancements. Intel promotes Taiwanese partners to strategic cooling co-innovators, aiming to strengthen future competitiveness.
