“As Broadcom continues to push the boundaries of custom silicon for AI and high-performance computing, the ability to manage multi-kilowatt thermal design powers (TDP) is no longer just a challenge; it is a requirement for thermal solvency,” said Ken Kutzler, VP of AI Systems Development for Broadcom's ASIC Products Division. “By partnering with Mikros Technologies and Jabil, we are ensuring our custom 5 kW XPU customers have access to a robust ecosystem of high-performance cooling. Their microchannel technology provides the critical chip-level thermal resistance necessary to unlock the full performance of our ASICs, enabling a seamless chip-to-chiller liquid cooling path that is essential for the next generation of high-density AI data centers.”
