Zhitong Finance App learned that during the CES exhibition in January 2026, Ultra Microelectronics (SMCI.US) announced the expansion of its liquid-cooled AI infrastructure support to accelerate delivery of data center solutions tailored for the Nvidia (NVDA.US) Vera Rubin platform. On Monday local time, Nvidia announced that its next generation system — Grace Blackwell's successor, the Vera Rubin platform — has entered full mass production, with ultra-microcomputers participating as one of its partners in the infrastructure and storage sector.

With Nvidia officially launching Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs with integrated HBM4 video memory, the power consumption and cooling density of AI clusters have reached record highs. Ultramicrocomputer followed suit with customized liquid cooling systems for the Vera Rubin NVL72 and HGX Rubin NVL8 architectures.

It is reported that the new liquid cooling solution for ultra-microcomputers can provide accurate heat dissipation for a hyperscale cluster with 72 Rubin GPUs integrated in a single cabinet. To ensure the smooth delivery of the Vera Rubin platform in the second half of 2026, Ultramicrocomputer confirmed that it has expanded its manufacturing facility in the US.

Charles Liang, President and CEO of Ultramicrocomputer, said, “Ultramicrocomputer's long-term partnership with Nvidia, combined with our agile building block solutions, has enabled us to bring cutting-edge AI platforms to market faster than our competitors. With increased manufacturing scale and industry-leading liquid cooling technology expertise, we are helping hyperscale vendors and enterprises deploy NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Rubin platform infrastructure at scale with unrivaled speed, efficiency, and reliability.”

The company said its data center building block solutions and advanced direct liquid cooling technology, which rely on in-house design and manufacturing capabilities in the US, will accelerate the deployment of next-generation liquid-cooled AI infrastructure.

As of press release, ultra-microcomputers rose more than 1% in the pre-market to $30.39.
