High-powered AI chips require extremely dense computing power and produce more heat which ultimately requires colder water to still be able to support reliable cooling of the chips.

The boom in artificial intelligence is ushering in an environmentally conscious shift in how data centers operate, as European developers face pressure to lower the water temperatures of their energy-hungry facilities to accommodate the higher-powered chips of firms such as tech giant Nvidia .

Nvidia 's Blackwell platform will enable organizations to run real-time generative AI on large language models at up to 25 times less cost and energy consumption compared to earlier technology.

Nebius , which has around $2 billion in cash on its balance sheet after splitting from Russia 's Yandex, has announced plans to invest more than $1 billion on AI infrastructure in Europe .
