(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
The ever-increasing performance and power requirements of electronic chipsets directly result in enormous heat generation. Over the last decade, NVIDIA GPUs have seen power consumption grow from approximately 250W to 1,200W for flagship models. Similarly, power consumption for CPUs from Intel and AMD has nearly tripled between 2019 and 2024. However, advancements in thermal interface solutions have not kept pace, making them one of the primary bottlenecks in achieving efficient cooling and effective heat dissipation, especially as AI datacenters transition to liquid cooling. NovoLINC's technology directly addresses these challenges by providing its products to semiconductor companies and hyperscalers.

Prof. Shen and Dr. Cheng commented: "With its unique nanostructured composite design, the NovoLINC technology offers outstanding thermal performance and reliability for cooling high-power electronics, such as CPUs and GPUs, making it particularly valuable for the rapidly growing data center industry."
"Our team is collaborating closely with industrial partners to accelerate the manufacturing scaleup and the commercialization of our technology to meet the surging needs of high-power computing and sustainable AI data center operations," added company co-founder and CEO, Dr. Ning Li.
Tobias Egle, M Ventures' associate commented: "Efficient thermal interface solutions have become a crucial aspect of data center infrastructure due to the increasing power in packages, shrinking features, and heterogeneous integration of chips. We are delighted to welcome the NovoLINC team to our semiconductor portfolio."
Eric Rosenblum, Foothill Ventures' Managing Partner, added: "There is a current goldrush in the tech community around AI applications, supported by ever more powerful chips and faster connections. However, there is an increasing realization that this boom is capped by energy consumption and heat dissipation. NovoLINC addresses both head-on, and we are thrilled to back them as they start this journey."
"Cooling contributes to 40% of data center's energy consumption. NovoLINC's thermal interface solutions offer the industry's lowest thermal resistance, and scalable solutions to keep up with the ever-increasing power and heat generated by the next-generation computing chips. We are excited to partner with NovoLINC to make chip cooling more efficient," remarked Tina Tosukhowong, TDK Ventures' Investment Director.
