Like, that's the expectation.
Like, you need to be confident that when you're deploying that CapEx for 15 to 20 years that it's going to work.
Right.
But it's beyond just money.
I think the other thing is because you've dramatically simplified it, the like project timeline can reduce.
Yeah, I mean, you know, my team and I, yeah, we spent a lot of time sort of commercializing silicon carbide, which is like the key power semiconductor component in the higher voltages on the DC side.
And then actually another interesting power semiconductor material called GaN is what's really enabling the 800-volt power shelves that are at the power density that they need to be in these racks.
GaN can switch at millions of times per second, and that's sort of the latest generation technology that is already making, even with the 400-volt distribution, it possible to have
the, you know, kilowatt level GPU.
Oh, how high can you go?
Yeah, with 800 volts DC, you can get up to like two megawatts a rack.
Of course.
Yeah.
I mean, it's got to be liquid coolant.
No question.
I mean, my thought on water, I can certainly speak on water.
I think that, again, it comes down to constraints, you know, and how many constraints do you apply to the problem?
For a while, water wasn't a constraint.
And so evaporative cooling was what was done.
But of course, you don't need to use evaporative cooling.
