AI power fluctuations strain both budgets and hardware
AI training at scale introduces power consumption patterns that can strain both server hardware and supporting power systems, shortening equipment lifespans and increasing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for operators.
These workloads can cause GPU power draw to spike briefly, even for only a few milliseconds, pushing them past their nominal thermal design power (TDP) or against their absolute power limits. Over time, this thermal stress can degrade GPUs and their onboard power delivery components.
