Episode notes
AI and Liquid Cooling at Computex
- AI dominated Computex with pervasive integration but lacked blockbuster announcements.
- Liquid cooling emerged prominently reflecting increased demand for efficient server cooling.
NVLink Fusion's Niche Appeal
- NVIDIA's NVLink Fusion targets ARM/custom CPU integrations to enable cluster scaling.
- This appeals mainly to niche CPU vendors like Fujitsu, less so to hyperscalers who prefer custom networking.
NVIDIA's ODM Strategy Risks Ecosystem
- NVIDIA prefers ODMs to use its reference designs despite promoting modularity.
- This uniformity stifles ODM differentiation and risks margin compression for them.
