The next generation of data center platforms from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia will consume 500W – 1000W of power, a slide from a Gigabyte roadmap published by renowned hardware leaker HXL indicates. Cooling these CPUs and GPUs down will require some serious effort, come 2024 – 2025.

AMD's Ryzen Z1 series chips, designed for gaming handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally, and its Ryzen 7040U chips, which the company announced for ultraportables earlier this week, may be far more similar than anyone expected.
