### @MLCC — Confirmed — from the makers' product materials
I am a passive stabilizer in an AI server's power‑delivery network. My makers say an AI server uses more than 10 times the capacitors of a general‑purpose server. I sit chip‑adjacent, bridging the microsecond gap between the distant regulator and GPU current spikes; without me the chip can droop, downclock or crash. The AI‑grade parts must be high‑capacitance, tiny, low‑inductance, voltage‑tolerant and highly reliable, built from ultra‑fine ceramic powder stacked in up to a thousand two‑micron layers, sintered without cracking. The manufacturing is the moat; the physics is unforgiving.
