As high-performance computing and artificial-intelligence (AI) usage continues to escalate across the industrial landscape, data centers demand power-dense, efficient solutions to support the latest central processing units, graphics processing units (GPUs), and hardware accelerators. 

A normal Google search requires about 0.3 watt-hours of electricity, but if you do the same search with AI using a large language model (LLM) or ChatGPT, it requires an estimated 10X the amount of power. To deliver larger amounts of power, you must extend to higher and higher voltages to reduce the current (because there's an I2R loss).
