Powering AI processors – 48V vertical power delivery changes the game
AI models demand huge current, driving legacy multiphase designs past 50 phases—causing space, thermal, and control limits Vicor addresses
HIRO’s strategically located MicroDataCenters require power density and high reliability to deliver on the promise of true edge computing. Listen to the podcast.
Podcast with Fred Buining, the CEO of HIRO
In our new, connected world, edge computing is becoming critically important. To fully take advantage of next-gen concepts like AI, machine learning, and the IoT, faster computation and data transfer speeds are necessary, closer to smart devices, closer to the so-called “edge”.
