Vertical power delivery enables cutting-edge processing
New developments are challenging power system designers with managing PDN impedance voltage drops, transient performance specifications and power loss
The need for new AI processor power delivery
Vicor Vertical Power Delivery (VPD) is an innovative new approach to powering AI applications that can reduce motherboard copper and processor interconnect resistances by up to 50X. Initially revealed at the AI Hardware Summit in Mountain View, CA this high-performance solution will deliver higher peak and average current delivery (>1000 Amps) than other solutions.
