Ep. 015 - DG Matrix Explains 800V DC vs Legacy AC Distribution (Datacenter, Energy) | Jordan Nanos, Jeremie Eliahou Ontiveros, Nicolas Bontigui, Haroon Inam

Description

NVIDIA's next architecture will demand 800V DC and datacenters can't wait to build the infrastructure. Haroon Inam, CEO and Co-Founder of DG Matrix, joins Jordan Nanos (@JordanNanos), Jeremie Eliahou Ontiveros (@JeremieEO), and Nicolas Bontigui to explain why megawatt GPU racks make 800V DC a necessity, not an option. Haroon details his journey from uncool power electronics to enabling superhuman intelligence infrastructure.
