Intel unveils new generation data center immersion liquid cooling solution, ushering in a new era of energy efficiency

Recently, Intel has released a new generation of data center liquid cooling solution - G-Flow immersion liquid cooling. While reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and power usage effectiveness (PUE), it provides excellent heat dissipation, system stability, ease of operation for dense computing environments pursuing outstanding cooling performance, and is more environmentally friendly. Currently, this solution has passed the proof-of-concept (POC) testing and achieved the expected results, which will accelerate the large-scale application of immersion liquid cooling solutions in data centers, laying a solid technical foundation for the green and efficient development of data centers.

Chen Baoli, Vice President of Intel's Data Center and AI Group and General Manager of Intel China, said, "In the current era where AI is rapidly advancing and the demand for sustainable development is becoming increasingly urgent, accelerating energy conservation and emission reduction in the high-capacity data center industry has become a top priority. Based on a deep understanding of industry needs, Intel has introduced the new G-Flow immersion liquid cooling solution for data centers. This groundbreaking technology not only breaks through traditional technological bottlenecks but also opens up new paths for energy conservation and emission reduction in data centers. In the future, Intel will continue to drive technological innovation, work with a wide range of ecosystem partners to promote application implementation, and provide strong support for the efficient and sustainable development of data centers."

The G-Flow immersion liquid cooling solution released by Intel this time integrates innovative design and high energy efficiency, covering innovative immersion liquid cooling cabinets and their corresponding liquid-cooled server heat dissipation solutions. This solution adopts a novel immersion system design that significantly increases the flow rate of cooling liquid through CPU or GPU heat sinks without additional energy consumption. This optimized fluid management not only achieves efficient forced convection heat transfer but also significantly improves the efficiency of cooling media and system heat dissipation. Based on this, a greener and lower-cost synthetic oil is also expected to be used as a cooling medium to solve kilowatt-level heat dissipation issues, further reducing the operating costs and environmental impact of data centers. Moreover, this technology introduces innovative interposer board design to effectively solve the decoupling problem between immersion liquid cooling cabinets and server designs faced by customers, meeting customers' demands for overall system flexibility and compatibility. This technology can meet the heat dissipation requirements of products including Intel Xeon 6 and Intel Gaudi AI accelerator, providing customers with more cooling solutions, better PUE, and lower TCO.

To jointly build a leading data center liquid cooling ecosystem with the industry chain and accelerate its move towards a sustainable, low-carbon future, Intel China has launched the Data Center Liquid Cooling Innovation Acceleration Program. In this program, Intel has collaborated with a wide range of ecosystem partners including immersion liquid cooling solution manufacturers Green Cloud Map and Luxshare Technology, server OEMs, ODMs, and synthetic oil cooling liquid suppliers to jointly develop prototypes based on the G-Flow immersion liquid cooling solution. After rigorous testing, these prototypes have demonstrated outstanding heat dissipation performance required for high-performance processors.

At a time when data centers are facing the transformation of energy conservation, emission reduction, and sustainable development, Intel, with its continuous innovation, is creating technologies that better meet the needs of modern data centers and working with ecosystem partners to drive data centers towards higher efficiency, energy conservation, and sustainable development Source: World Communications Network
