Intel is set to pump $700 million into a new ‘mega-lab’ focused on building next-generation immersion liquid cooling technology.
The 200,000-square-foot building will begin construction later this year at the company’s Jones Farm campus in Hillsboro, Oregon, with its opening expected in late 2023.
Immersion cooling enables servers and other computing components to be submerged in dielectric liquid, which makes expensive data centre air conditioning unnecessary.

Aside from immersion cooling, the lab will also conduct research into water usage effectiveness and heat recapture and reuse
In addition, Intel said the lab will work on qualifying, testing and enabling Intel’s portfolio of data center and dedicated hosting products including Intel Xeon, Intel…
