Daikin Industries said at a 27 November briefing in Osaka that soaring server-cooling demand from the rapid uptake of generative AI has led the company to target over JPY300 billion (approx. US$2 billion) in North American data-center cooling revenue in fiscal 2030, nearly triple its JPY100 billion tally in fiscal 2025.

At its investor conference on November 27, 2025, Gigastorage Corporation shared details regarding its strategic shift from its early photovoltaic (PV) business toward AI computing, cooling, and personal health micro-sensing. In the HPC and AI fields, Gigastorage has invested in direct forming technology (DFT). This technique leverages the high hardness of diamond abrasives to directly machine deep, tall two-dimensional fin structures onto heat-dissipating materials, improving thermal resistance performance by approximately 20%. It overcomes the technical bottlenecks of traditional cooling solutions, allowing fins to be directly integrated into GPU modules while precisely controlling the base thickness below 0.2mm, targeting top-tier applications such as HPC and vertical AI cooling.

The AOC 25G4KUR is a cutting-edge e-sports monitor built around a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel, offering Full HD resolution and an astonishing 420Hz refresh rate. Designed for competitive gaming, it delivers ultra-fast performance with a 0.3ms MPRT and a minimum 1ms GTG response time. The maximum 420Hz refresh rate is achieved through the DisplayPort 1.4 connection, while the two HDMI 2.0 ports…
