Patel says xAI's Memphis facility is the first large-scale water-cooled NVIDIA GPU deployment.
“this is the first deployment of NVIDIA GPUs that is water cooled. Right? Everyone else has done primarily NVIDIA GPUs that are air cooled, and next year, they'll do water cooled NVIDIA GPUs.”
Patel credits Supermicro as first on liquid cooling with XAI's 100,000 GPU Colossus deployment, with others following.
“you guys were the first on liquid cooling with XAI's Colossus, the first large scale 100,000 GPU deployment with liquid cooling, and you've done many more since, and you were the first and everyone else has sort of followed since.”
