Akash Systems’ ‘diamond-cooled’ servers reduce GPU hotspot temperatures in Nvidia and AMD systems that already use advanced fluid cooling technologies with an impressive 10 ° -20 ° C.
The company’s diamond cooling technology is designed to supplement existing thermal solutions, such as fluid immersion cooling. It integrates a synthetic diamond, a material five times more thermally conductive than copper.
NXTGEN adopts Akash technology and cuts AI calculates costs by 50%.
The building on Akash’s prior success in using diamond cooling for satellite applications, the diamond cooled accelerated heat drainage must be crucial to GPUs, where operating temperatures often exceed 90 ° -100 ° C. In practice, this can allow GPUs to perform beyond their usual limits and achieve up to 25% over -clock functions.
The servers also increase AI energy efficiency by reducing GPU ventilator speeds by 50%, resulting in a 90% reduction in the fan’s energy consumption. In addition, server life is effectively doubled, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs while reducing thermal throttling.
In December 2024, Akash secured a $ 27 million contract to implement its diamond -cooled servers across the NXTGen data centers in India. Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, highlighted the role of technology in speeding up AI workloads describing diamond -cooled servers as “the way to go.” This partnership follows Akash Systems’ approval for up to $ 68 million in financing under the Chips and Science Act of the US Ministry of Commerce.
“Our diamond-cooled GPU servers will allow NXTGEN to provide unmatched performance and reliability to their customers and strengthen their position as a leader in AI and other calculation solutions,” said Felix Ejeckam, CEO and co-founder of Akash Systems, at that time.
“Through a combination of Akash’s diamond cooling, waterless fluid cooling and advanced GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD, we are able to double the performance per watt,” said NXTG’s CEO and CEO as Rajgopal.
“This allows us to reduce the cost of our customers and reduce the cost of AI Compute Services by more than 50% from the current market prices and enable us to deliver very high value AI use cases to our customers.”
