New AI data center builds are being specified in gigawatts, my friend.
Yup. Here's slides from last year's HotChips on where AI racks are going: https://hc2025.hotchips.org/assets/program/tutorials/HC2025....
The racks rolling out now are in the 100s of KW each, targeting 1 MW per rack as the rough limit for using 400v DC.
The next iteration is go up to 800v DC, riding the coattails of power management components from the EV industry.
