Microsoft's revelation of an in-chip microfluidic cooling prototype marks one of the most ambitious attempts yet to wrestle the thermal limits of modern AI hardware — and it does so by breaking one of datacenter orthodoxy's oldest rules: don't wet the silicon. The company says tiny, hair-width...

Microsoft’s lab teams have demonstrated a bio‑inspired, AI‑optimized in‑chip microfluidic cooling system in partnership with Swiss startup Corintis, claiming up to 3× the heat removal of conventional cold plates and a 65% reduction in peak silicon temperature rise in GPU tests — results that, if...
