Gudeng Precision Industrial Co (家登精密) yesterday said it is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) server cooling system with Giga Computing Co (技剛科技) to help customers reduce energy consumption.
“Our cooperation will produce supplementary effects and pave the way for us to address the global cooling system market,” Gudeng chairman Bill Chiu (邱銘乾) said of the new-generation two-phase liquid immersion cooling system at a news conference in Taipei.
Gudeng owns a 20 percent share in Giga Computing, which already supplies one-phase liquid immersion cooling systems that account for 76 percent of the immersion cooling system market, while two-phase immersion cooling systems make up 24 percent, Chiu said.

Two-phase immersion cooling systems use power more efficiently than one-phase models, and more customers have shifted to the new systems for AI servers, he said.
Gudeng is the sole extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pod supplier to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (台積電).
The company is optimistic about the growth of its core EUV pod and wafer pods, which are box-like front-opening unified pods for shipping, transporting and storing wafers during the chipmaking process.
“We are benefiting from the overall [semiconductor] market’s growth as we play a crucial role in the whole semiconductor supply chain,” Chiu said. “We have the chance to see our revenue reach NT$6 billion [US$187.38 million] or NT$7 billion this year.”
That represented an upward revision to the company’s earlier revenue forecast, of 20 percent annually this year from NT$5.08 billion last year. The new forecast means an annual increase of between 18 and 38 percent.
The company is targeting NT$10 billion in revenue next year, Chiu said.
The revenue growth is mainly fueled by customer demand from Taiwan and China, accounting for 46 percent and 35 percent of the company’s total revenue respectively, ahead of the US at 15 percent.
Gudeng’s revenue soared 36.91 percent annually to NT$3.82 billion during the first seven months of this year, compared with NT$2.79 billion a year earlier.
US sports leagues rushed to get in on the multi-billion US dollar bonanza of legalized betting, but the arrest of an National Basketball Association (NBA) coach and player in two sprawling US federal investigations show the potential cost of partnering with the gambling industry. Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, a former Detroit Pistons star and an NBA Hall of Famer, was arrested for his alleged role in rigged illegal poker games that prosecutors say were tied to Mafia crime families. Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was charged with manipulating his play for the benefit of bettors and former NBA player and
The DBS Foundation yesterday announced the launch of two flagship programs, “Silver Motion” and “Happier Caregiver, Healthier Seniors,” in partnership with CCILU Ltd, Hondao Senior Citizens’ Welfare Foundation and the Garden of Hope Foundation to help Taiwan face the challenges of a rapidly aging population. The foundation said it would invest S$4.91 million (US$3.8 million) over three years to foster inclusion and resilience in an aging society. “Aging may bring challenges, but it also brings opportunities. With many Asian markets rapidly becoming super-aged, the DBS Foundation is working with a regional ecosystem of like-minded partners across the private, public and people sectors
BREAKTHROUGH TECH: Powertech expects its fan-out PLP system to become mainstream, saying it can offer three-times greater production throughput Chip packaging service provider Powertech Technology Inc (力成科技) plans to more than double its capital expenditures next year to more than NT$40 billion (US$1.31 billion) as demand for its new panel-level packaging (PLP) technology, primarily used in chips for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, has greatly exceeded what it can supply. A significant portion of the budget, about US$1 billion, would be earmarked for fan-out PLP technology, Powertech told investors yesterday. Its heavy investment in fan-out PLP technology over the past 10 years is expected to bear fruit in 2027 after the technology enters volume production, it said, adding that the tech would
YEAR-END BOOST: The holiday shopping season in the US and Europe, combined with rising demand for AI applications, is expected to drive exports to a new high, the NDC said Taiwan’s business climate monitor improved last month, transitioning from steady growth for the first time in five months, as robust global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) products and new iPhone shipments boosted exports and corporate sales, the National Development Council (NDC) said yesterday. The council uses a five-color system to measure the nation’s economic state, with “green” indicating steady growth, “red” suggesting a boom and “blue” reflecting a recession. “Yellow-red” and “yellow-blue” suggest a transition to a stronger or weaker condition. The total score of the monitor’s composite index rose to 35 points from a revised 31 in August, ending a four-month
