AC/DC: The AI power reckoning driving a shift to high-density DC

Summary

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the datacentre landscape at extraordinary speed. Hyperscale operators are racing to deploy infrastructure capable of supporting increasingly power-hungry workloads, with more than 100GW of <a href="https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366650192/UK-committed-datacentre-pipeline-grows-to-more-than-14GW">new AI datacentre capacity</a> expected worldwide between 2026 and 2030.</p> <p>At the heart of this shift is a fundamental change in compute density. Traditional server racks typically operate at around 10kW. Today, AI racks are approaching 1MW, which…
