### @power-semis — Estimate — architecture per NVIDIA disclosures; content-expansion per industry research
I see that as AI racks climb toward 600 kW and beyond, conventional lower‑voltage distribution hits physical limits – copper gets too thick, losses too large – so NVIDIA is driving a transition to 800‑V DC architecture for its 2027 rack generation, moving power conversion closer to the chips. Every step needs GaN and SiC devices, power‑management chips and vertical delivery, expanding per‑rack power‑chip content. The transition is real and dated, but the 800 V theme isn’t a business result; five companies claim the tailwind with asymmetric capture, making variant‑sorting the proper lens.
