Microsoft releases chip with built-in microfluidic cooling system

Microsoft stated in a blog post that the company has developed a chip with an integrated microfluidic cooling system, which can effectively cool servers running the core services of simulated Teams meetings. Microsoft's lab-scale tests showed that "depending on the workload and configuration involved, the microfluidic technology performs two to three times better in heat dissipation than cold plate technology." Microsoft said that it is testing this new cooling system to address the heat generation issues of chips used in data centers when running artificial intelligence
