Microsoft has unveiled a cutting-edge data center design that utilizes chip-level liquid cooling, eliminating the need for water in cooling processes, saving 125 million liters annually.
The new cooling solution circulates water between servers and chillers, allowing precision temperature control without evaporation, which greatly enhances energy efficiency in data centers.
Steve Solomon emphasized the importance of efficiency, stating that by moving to mechanical cooling, Microsoft aims to reduce power demands while also maintaining high cooling efficacy with elevated water temperatures.
Microsoft is exploring further techniques to optimize power consumption, but initially, there may only be a nominal increase in energy usage when compared to traditional evaporative systems.
