According to DigiTimes Asia, some of Auras’ critical cooling components, such as cold plates and manifolds, are already on Nvidia’s preferred supplier list and are already being sold by some AIB partners for the upcoming GeForce RTX 50 series (codenamed Blackwell). It is said to be used in GPUs. , comparable to the best graphics cards.
Taiwan-based cooling company Auras Technology Co., Ltd., one of the manufacturers of cooling components for discrete graphics cards, says Nvidia’s RTX 50 series GPUs will “dominate the entire market starting in December. It is possible.” Company Chairman Yusheng Lin made this statement during an earnings call on November 13 last year, saying that the company expects demand for cooling products to expand across the PC, GPU, and server markets next year.
This news may be of interest to those looking forward to Nvidia’s latest graphics cards, which reportedly draw more than 450 watts of power. If that power demand is real, 50-series GPUs could run hotter than previous generation GPUs, requiring a more robust cooling solution. However, despite Auras’ (and some hardware leakers’) December predictions, most indicators still point to a January 2025 launch. That’s especially likely given that Jensen Huang will be the keynote speaker at CES 2025, and there’s no better place to unveil next-generation products than at the world’s largest consumer electronics show.
Aside from the release date of Nvidia’s next-generation GPUs, the company also made some healthy predictions for the state of the PC and server market next year. According to the company, server-related revenue is expected to increase by 130% due to increased sales of water cooling systems for AI servers. We also expect demand for display card cooling to increase by double digits with the launch of the RTX 50 series, while we expect to see more modest numbers in the PC sector.
Overall, Aurus is expected to grow by more than 50% in 2025 and is looking to expand its presence in Mexico, in addition to its existing manufacturing facilities in China, Taiwan, and Thailand.
As for the December forecast, it is believed that Lin made this comment because the company is likely to deliver cooling components for the cards in that month. This will help ensure enough supply on the market when Nvidia reportedly launches its latest line of graphics cards in January 2025.
