NVIDIA plans phased 800V DC power rollout for data centers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

NVIDIA is planning a transition to 800V DC power distribution systems for its data centers, which will be implemented in phases. Initially, NVIDIA's Power Rack will integrate 800V DC into existing AC infrastructure, standardizing the DC interface and backup configuration. Subsequent phases involve row-level Power Centers for centralized rectification and eventually hall-level DC Power Blocks to support higher density loads. The company intends to collaborate with industry partners on demonstration and pilot sites before wider deployment. AI

IMPACT This infrastructure shift could enable more efficient and higher-density computing for AI workloads.
