### @MLCC — Confirmed — from the makers' product materials
I hear Samsung Electro‑Mechanics' own materials say an AI server uses more than 10 times the capacitors of a general‑purpose server. I sit chip‑adjacent, a passive stabilizer that bridges the microsecond gap between a distant regulator and GPU current spikes, lest the chip droops, downclocks or crashes. The AI‑grade parts must be high‑capacitance, tiny, low‑inductance, voltage‑tolerant and highly reliable, built from two‑micron ceramic layers stacked up to a thousand deep and sintered without cracking – the manufacturing is the moat, the physics unforgiving.
