Corintis Secures $24M for Revolutionary GPU Cooling Tech
Semiconductor startup Corintis has secured a $24 million Series A round, led by BlueYard Capital and joined by Intel's CEO, to develop a groundbreaking microfluidic cooling system for high-performance GPUs. This innovative solution aims to handle power levels far beyond current standards, up to 10kW, which is a significant leap from today's GPUs dissipating between 400W and 1kW.
Corintis' cooling systems channel liquid precisely where it's needed, unlike traditional Pearson solutions. Microsoft's testing has shown promising results, suggesting that this technology can enable more performance, overclocking potential, and even new 3-D chip architectures. Industry leaders like Nvidia have already shifted toward liquid cooling, indicating market demand. Corintis' successful testing on servers running core services at Microsoft further validates its potential. The startup aims to scale production to over one million units of microfluidic cold plates annually by 2026. As next-generation accelerators like Nvidia's GB200 are expected to exceed 1kW, Corintis' technology could be a game-changer in managing high power levels.
Despite the complexity of deploying new cooling technologies, Corintis' microfluidic cooling system has shown great promise in handling high-power GPUs. With successful testing and a significant investment round, the startup is well-positioned to revolutionize GPU cooling and meet the demands of advancing technology.
