Microsoft Tests Microfluidic Cooling for Next-Generation AI Chips

Microsoft has announced progress on a new chip cooling approach that could help address one of the biggest bottlenecks in scaling AI infrastructure: heat. The company's researchers have successfully demonstrated in-chip microfluidic cooling, a system that channels liquid coolant directly into etched grooves on the back of silicon chips. Traditional cooling methods in data centers, such as cold plates, dissipate heat by transferring it through multiple material layers.

Microsoft says this new cooling method could enable more powerful chips and efficient data centers

Microfluidic cooling—delivering liquid coolant directly into silicon—can remove heat up to three times more effectively, potentially reducing data center energy use and enabling powerful chips.
