Nvidia is adopting Infineon's gallium nitride power semiconductors for its 800-volt data center architecture, a move seen as confirmation that power delivery, not compute, is now the main physical bottleneck for scaling AI. Analysts say silicon has reached its limits and wide-bandgap semiconductors are becoming mandatory infrastructure for next-generation AI facilities.

Why now: Nvidia's shift to gallium nitride power chips signals a major change in how AI data centers will be powered.
