800 VDC for AI Data Center Power Architectures: Moving Power Conversion Closer to the GPU

As AI racks approach megawatt-scale power, efficient distribution from the facility to the GPU becomes critical. 800 VDC reduces current, conductor size and power losses, but where should voltage conversion occur? This article compares rack-level, mid-rack and near-load conversion, examining efficiency, complexity and why future AI architectures may move high-ratio DC-DC conversion closer to compute.
