AI workloads are pushing thermal engineering to its limits. In this article from Design News, Senior Editor Spencer Chin covers how traditional heat sinks and fans are reaching their performance ceiling, and while liquid cooling helps, it adds complexity, space constraints, and maintenance, especially in dense AI systems. Our Crescendo vertical power delivery platform changes the game. By relocating ultra-fast, high-density power conversion directly beneath the processor, Crescendo shortens the power path and reduces power loss and thermal load.

ECAPs are not just any capacitors. They are the most compact, high-performance and lowest ESL silicon capacitors, with values below 5pH for the most demanding power integrity requirements. ECAPs deliver unmatched bandwidth in a package as thin as 50 microns and are compatible with land/die side mounting or substrate embedding. ECAPs enable performance where space is limited and bandwidth truly matters.

The rapid rise of AI is pushing data center power demands to new heights, with Goldman Sachs projecting a 165% increase by 2030. This surge brings both a challenge and an opportunity in one key question: How do we meet this demand while maintaining energy efficiency, sustainability and performance? At Empower, we believe the answer lies in transforming power delivery through our Crescendo platform. Purpose-built to address this challenge, Crescendo delivers ultra-fast, high-density and efficient power directly at the point of load, reducing power losses, improving energy efficiency and doing so with a smaller footprint and lower total cost of ownership.

AI compute is scaling faster than the infrastructure needed to power and cool it, with the gap widening with every generation of SoC. In a previous interview with EE Times’ Nitin Dahad, our CEO Tim Phillips explained why next-gen data center tech suppliers need investment in advanced power delivery and thermal solutions just as much as in GPUs. At Empower, our Crescendo vertical power platform, built on FinFast technology, addresses the inefficiency of lateral power traces and bulky capacitor banks by delivering high-speed, on-demand power directly under the processor. The result: up to 5x higher power density, reduced transmission losses and Kw-class scalability that helps reduce system energy and footprint—key to sustainable AI growth.
