Chad Wallace(@siliconcodesign):For best thermal performance of AI Accelerators, the cold plate should be co-designed with the physical design of the silicon and the package. On-chip physical designers should be cognizant of potential hotspots and place power-hungry blocks in such a way to minimize hotspots and uniformly distribute heat throughout the package. Source: Y.
