One of the biggest problems of any computer system is the dissipation of heat generated by the components. Above all, it is a problem in large data centers, where there are dozens of high-powered systems. Intel has partnered with Spanish company Submer to create a cooling solution that has the ability to dissipate up to 1,000 watts of heat.

The increase in consumption of processors and graphics cards is beginning to generate important challenges. We see more and more graphics cards with heatsinks with three PCI slots due to the consumption they have. Something that is a problem for modern motherboards due to the tensions generated.

Processors are not spared, as they consume more and more. This forces high-end processors, in many cases, to install all-in-one liquid cooling. It represents a long-term problem, since they suffer from microevaporation, losing part of the internal liquid and generating poor cooling.

You probably don't know the Spanish company Submer and that's normal. This company specializes in cooling solutions for data centers and has technologies for cooling HPC, Data Centers, Edge, AI, DL and blockchain.

 

 

The emergence of artificial intelligence has generated an underlying problem, which is the dissipation of the heat generated. It therefore implies the need to develop a solution that allows heat to be dissipated efficiently. Submer in collaboration with Intel has created a forced convection heat sink (FCHS) that should allow heat to be dissipated at a faster rate.

Currently, at a professional level they use forced convection systems, liquid cooling or investment in refrigerant liquids. The problem with these technologies is the costs, especially in the case of immersion in coolant.

Intel and Submer have not revealed what this technology is like and how it works, although we can guess. FCHS could take advantage of “liquid cooling” combined with two cold plates. A mechanism that, in addition to transferring heat, helps dissipate it.

This technology would already be used in an unspecified Intel Xeon processor with a consumption of more than 800 watts. An aberrant consumption if we see it raw, then we need to see what computing capacity said processor has.
