Nvidia says its AI data center design runs hotter to use a lot less water

Nvidia claims its AI data center design uses significantly less water and energy by running hotter, but critics point out it doesn't address all concerns, such as construction and power generation requirements. The design, called Rubin, uses liquid cooling. Nvidia doesn't disclose the cost of this design compared to air-cooled data centers. This development doesn't fully alleviate concerns around AI data centers. The industry continues to face scrutiny over its environmental impact.
