Navitas 24kW AI Power System Targets 97% Efficiency
Navitas Semiconductor and Nvidia have developed a 24kW power-delivery board for AI data centres. The Navitas 24kW AI power system converts 800V DC to 12V in a single stage, targets 97% full-load efficiency and uses 16 gallium nitride transistors. It fits Nvidia’s 400mm-by-60mm form factor and is designed to power a full compute tray. The companies plan to showcase it in Nvidia’s AI Factory MGX ecosystem at the October 2026 OCP Global Summit. This is a newer 12V design than the 20kW board Navitas previously introduced. Separately, an earlier collaboration targeted an 800V-to-6V board, with peak efficiency targets of 96.5%–97.5% and power density up to 2,100W/in³; Navitas also displayed that design at COMPUTEX in June 2026. The 800V architecture could reduce conversion losses, equipment footprint and copper use, but grid access and equipment availability remain broader data-centre constraints. The developments may matter to investors tracking AI infrastructure and semiconductor demand, but they have no direct, identifiable effect on cryptocurrency prices.
Neutral
The news concerns power systems for AI data centres and semiconductor suppliers, not a cryptocurrency or blockchain project. It therefore offers no clear direct catalyst for the price of any specific crypto asset, making a neutral classification appropriate. In the short term, traders may respond to broader risk sentiment around AI infrastructure or semiconductor stocks, but any resulting crypto-market moves would be indirect and difficult to attribute to this announcement. Longer term, more efficient data-centre power systems could support continued growth in AI computing, yet the effect on crypto prices would depend on separate factors such as network activity, token demand, liquidity and macroeconomic conditions. The stated efficiency figures are targets, and practical adoption and commercial revenue remain uncertain.
