(PR) Infineon Announces Collaboration with NVIDIA on Power Delivery Chips for Future Server Racks
20-05-2025 21:37
Infineon Technologies AG is revolutionizing the power delivery architecture required for future AI data centers. In collaboration with NVIDIA, Infineon is developing the next generation of power systems based on a new architecture with central power generation of 800 V high-voltage direct current (HVDC). The new system architecture significantly increases energy-efficient power distribution across the data center and allows power conversion directly at the AI chip (Graphic Processing Unit, GPU) within the server board. Infineon's expertise in power conversion solutions from grid to core based on all relevant semiconductor materials silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) is accelerating the roadmap to a full scale HVDC architecture. This revolutionary step paves the way for the implementation of advanced power delivery architectures in accelerated computing data centers and will further enhance reliability and efficiency. As AI data centers already are going beyond 100,000 individual GPUs, the need for more efficient power delivery is becoming increasingly important. AI data centers will require power outputs of one megawatt (MW) and more per IT rack before the end of the decade. Therefore, the HVDC architecture coupled with high-density multiphase solutions will set a new standard for the industry, driving the development of high-quality components and power distribution systems.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Gains 24 GB GDDR7, Keeps 10,752 CUDA Cores
20-05-2025 20:33
With Computex 2025 in full swing, we learn that NVIDIA's next "SUPER" refresh may soon arrive: reliable leaker kopite7kimi has dropped fresh rumors surrounding the upcoming GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. In a recent post on X, the leaker indicated that this new card will continue to use the GB203 GPU, matching the existing RTX 5080's full capacity of 10,752 CUDA cores. The only SUPER improvement lies in memory capacity and speed. Unlike the base model's 16 GB of GDDR7 running at 30 Gbps, the SUPER variant features 24 GB of GDDR7 at 32 Gbps, giving it a 1 TB/s of theoretical bandwidth. This increase in VRAM could yield noticeable benefits in high-resolution gaming and professional workloads that demand extensive frame buffers. Early bandwidth estimates suggest a 6% uplift in throughput when compared to the standard RTX 5080's 960 GB/s. At the same time, the higher memory density requires denser 3 GB modules, similar to those already used in the RTX PRO 6000. Power requirements will rise accordingly. The SUPER model is rumored to draw over 400 W, about 40 W more than the vanilla RTX 5080's 360 W rating. Now, only NVIDIA's flagship RTX 5090—with 21,760 cores and 32 GB of GDDR7 across a 512‑bit bus—will exceed the 5080 SUPER in both compute and memory resources, not counting the last-generation top-tier RTX 4090. The exact launch date remains unconfirmed. While earlier rumors pointed to a Q4 2025 release, a new schedule could see NVIDIA debut the new card by early 2026 at a major trade show such as CES. Pricing is equally speculative. A possible MSRP target would be between $1,000 and $1,500, and it would be positioned to avoid direct competition with NVIDIA's entry‑level professional Blackwell GPUs. As always, until official announcements are made, specifications and launch windows should be taken with a grain of salt.
