AI GPUs' power draw will equate to the power needs of a small country
The relentless drive to expand AI processing power is ushering in a new era for memory technology, but it comes at a cost that raises practical and environmental concerns, experts have warned.
Research by Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) and Terabyte Interconnection and Package Laboratory (TERA) suggests by 2035, AI GPU accelerators equipped with 6TB of HBM could become a reality.
These developments, while technically impressive, also highlight the steep power demands and increasing complexity involved in pushing the boundaries of AI infrastructure.
