Chip-maker Intel has announced plans to invest more than $700 million
for a research and development mega lab focused on innovative data
centre technologies.
Additionally, the company
introduced the technology industry's first open intellectual property
(open IP) immersion liquid cooling solution and reference design.
"The
future of the data centre and data centre design is based on innovative
and sustainable technologies and practices," said Sandra L Rivera,
Intel executive vice president and general manager of Datacenter and AI
Group.
The 200,000-square-foot, state-of-the art research and
development mega lab will be focused on areas such as immersion cooling,
water usage effectiveness and heat recapture and reuse.
Also,
with the initial design proof of concept initiated in Taiwan, Intel aims
to simplify and accelerate the implementation of immersion liquid
cooling solutions throughout the ecosystem globally.
Construction
on the lab will begin this year at the Jones Farm campus in Hillsboro,
Oregon, with opening expected in late 2023, the company said in a
statement late on Thursday.
The lab will also host an advanced
technology showcase for customers and partners to observe and test Intel
products in a variety of data centre environments in the lab, in an
effort to accelerate adoption of these new technologies throughout the
ecosystem.
Data centres represent approximately 1 per cent of
the global electricity demand and account for about 0.3 per cent of
global carbon emissions1.
Research shows that immersion cooling
with energy reuse could reduce carbon emissions by 45 per cent compared
to traditional data centre usage, said the company.
