(Central News Agency reporter Chang Chien-chung Miaoli 7th) IC design firm MediaTek today announced the launch of its R&D data center. The first phase has a scale of approximately 15MW and will support internal computing power, operations, and R&D project needs. This R&D data center features an AI high-performance computing platform built with an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD computing cluster driven by the NVIDIA DGX B200 platform.
MediaTek pointed out that the R&D data center is located in Miaoli's Tongluo Science Park. In addition to the AI high-performance computing platform built with the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD computing cluster, it also extensively adopts new energy-saving immersion cooling technology.
MediaTek's Tongluo R&D data center adopts a stable power supply system design of wafer fab grade, equipped with 2N redundant power systems and full-load backup generator sets throughout the area, unaffected by zoned rolling blackouts, ensuring a complete power protection mechanism to maintain maximum operational efficiency of the R&D data center.
MediaTek stated that the construction of the Tongluo R&D data center began in 2023 and is built to the highest diamond-grade green building specifications. It adopts a modular design and is planned to be constructed in three phases. The first phase was completed and launched this year, and future construction resources will be flexibly and gradually invested according to business growth and actual needs at different stages. Each phase will have a scale of approximately 15MW, totaling up to 45MW for the three phases.
In addition to introducing new single-phase immersion cooling technology to improve computing performance and reduce energy consumption, MediaTek also installed self-use solar panels above the R&D data center, planning for a capacity of 235kW, with an annual power generation of up to 280,000 kilowatt-hours, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 67 households.
Furthermore, concrete actions have been taken in water resource management. Apart from using tap water for domestic purposes, the factory's air conditioning and cooling systems use recycled water from the Tongluo Science Park. The factory's air conditioning system, through a precise circulation system, uses recycled water as the primary cooling medium, reducing reliance on natural water resources.
Regarding the investment amount for the R&D data center, MediaTek stated that it is a substantial investment to support internal computing power, operations, and R&D project needs, but did not disclose the specific investment amount.
MediaTek pointed out that to build an ecosystem, the data center adopted a public tender process, with 4 to 5 qualified manufacturers participating. Supply chain issues such as memory and solid-state drive (SSD) shortages will be the biggest challenge for information infrastructure this year. (Editor: Lin Shu-yuan) 1150507
