AI data centre power surge solution found, fierce race for next-generation DC power grids
AI data centre power infrastructure is increasingly likely to shift from alternating current to direct current, as soaring computing demand exposes limits in existing power systems. Multi-stage AC-to-DC conversions cause energy loss, heat and complexity. The industry is turning to high-voltage DC, such as converting 13.8 kV AC to 800V DC, to improve efficiency and cut copper use. Power equipment companies are rolling out DC designs, while supply constraints and demand uncertainty remain.

SK Hynix launches standardisation of next-generation memory HBF
SK Hynix is moving to establish a global standard for High Bandwidth Flash, a next-generation memory designed for the AI inference era. SK Hynix and SanDisk held a consortium kickoff event in Milpitas, California, and outlined a strategy to standardise HBF under the Open Compute Project. HBF is positioned between high-bandwidth memory and SSD storage, targeting capacity scaling and power efficiency for inference workloads.

SK hynix starts standardisation for next-generation HBF memory
SK hynix will pursue global standardisation of High Bandwidth Flash (HBF), a next-generation memory aimed at the AI inference era. SK hynix and SanDisk held a consortium kick-off event in Milpitas, California, and announced their standardisation strategy. They will jointly form a dedicated workstream under the Open Compute Project. HBF is positioned between high-speed HBM and high-capacity SSDs, targeting capacity expansion and power efficiency for inference workloads.
