San Jose – October 13, 2026 -- Wiwynn unveiled a 6kW double-sided cold plate that it says cuts power delivery loss by up to 80%, alongside AI rack platforms for NVIDIA and AMD and a co-packaged optics (CPO) rack, at the 2026 OCP Global Summit in San Jose.

Wiwynn joins NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 pilot build program

Wiwynn and Wistron are among the first NVIDIA Pilot Build Partners for the Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, covering engineering validation and design-in. The liquid-cooled, rack-scale system integrates 72 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs and 36 NVIDIA Vera CPUs with 6th-generation NVIDIA NVLink.

Wiwynn is also applying its rack integration and manufacturing capabilities to AMD's Helios rackscale solution, built on the Open Rack Wide (ORW) standard. Helios combines AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs, 6th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, AMD Pensando networking and AMD ROCm software, with configurations tailored to cloud service provider (CSP) requirements.

San Jose – October 13, 2026 -- d-Matrix has launched Squadron, a fleet of multi-rack inference systems that scale to 1,024 interconnected Corsair XPUs and deliver megawatts of compute for latency-sensitive AI workloads.

Squadron clusters scale to 16 racks and run on air cooling

A Squadron cluster combines up to 16 SquadRacks, each a single rack holding eight servers. Clusters are interconnected with d-Matrix JetStream NICs and managed with Aviator software.

The systems are air-cooled and built on industry standards. d-Matrix says customers can install them in existing data centers without liquid cooling or major buildouts. Customers can start with a single Corsair server, move to a full SquadRack, or scale to a multi-rack cluster on the same architecture.
