As AI data center rapidly scales toward the gigawatt (GW) level, energy management is evolving from a supporting function into a defining strategic pillar. Against this backdrop, Infineon Technologies is redefining power infrastructure of AI era through its comprehensive "From Grid to Core" strategy, integrating energy efficiency, power density, and system resilience from the electrical grid to the processor core.Scaling AI: Strategic Power Solutions MatterThe evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated far beyond the trajectory once predicted by Moore's Law. As AI models continue to expand in parameter scale and real-time inference becomes increasingly critical, demand for computing power is rising at an unprecedented pace.Today, the power consumption of a single GPU is rapidly approaching the kilowatt level, and the power density of a server rack has increased significantly from less than 60kW in the past to exceeding 100kW, now moving toward a new threshold in the megawatt range.This is not just numerical growth; it represents a fundamental shift in power architecture. As AI computing clusters expand rapidly, traditional 48V busbars and AC power distribution architectures are quickly approaching their physical limits in terms of power loss, thermal management, and spatial constraints.Adam White, President of Infineon's Power & Sensor Systems Division, emphasized that future competition in AI infrastructure will no longer be limited to chip performance. Instead, it will be a cross-disciplinary integration battle encompassing power electronics, materials technology, and system architecture.From Grid to Core: Rethinking the power delivery architectureAt this critical turning point for the industry, Infineon's competitive advantage lies not in a single breakthrough product, but in its ability to orchestrate and optimize the entire power delivery chain at the system level."From Grid to Core" is more than a product strategy - it is a multi-phase architectural framework designed to reshape the future AI energy chain. Developed through early collaboration with global hyperscalers and ecosystem partners, the strategy enables Infineon to address evolving AI power demands across every phase of infrastructure, from utility grids to processor-level power management.Power grid: Enabling a sustainable, high-efficiency power with HVDCAt the front end of the data center, power infrastructure is transitioning from traditional mechanical systems to highly integrated solid-state solutions. Future AI facilities are expected to increasingly adopt decentralized DC microgrids, enabling greater efficiency, flexibility, and resilience in energy management.By leveraging silicon carbide (SiC) technology in solid-state transformers (SSTs), system weight can be dramatically reduced - from nearly 20 tons to approximately 500 kilograms—while simultaneously improving overall energy efficiency by more than 1%. Beyond optimizing space utilization and operational costs, this advancement signals a broader industry migration from electromechanical infrastructure toward semiconductor-driven power systems.As SSTs and related technologies become integrated into AI power infrastructure, a multi-billion-dollar semiconductor opportunity is emerging across next-generation energy systems.At the same time, the power grid is evolving beyond its traditional role as just an energy source. Through digitally controlled power systems with real-time monitoring and remote management capabilities, combined with solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs) featuring microsecond-level response times, the grid is becoming an intelligent energy platform capable of continuous optimization and predictive management.Server rack: Reshaping power density and maximizing efficiencyAs data centers advance toward GW-scale deployments, power distribution architecture is undergoing a fundamental redesign. Infineon is driving the industry's transition from traditional 48V systems to ±400V and 800V high-voltage DC architectures. Through the design of three-phase power sidecars, Infineon is restructuring power supply and computing systems to establish a more efficient and flexible power distribution model.At the same time, the power architecture of AI data centers is following a clear evolutionary path: moving from integrated server rack designs to high-voltage DC and sidecar power supply configurations, and ultimately advancing to gigawatt-scale infrastructures that incorporate DC microgrids.Meanwhile, The high-frequency characteristics of gallium nitride (GaN) components enable intermediate bus converters (IBCs) to achieve over 98% conversion efficiency and exceptionally high power density in an extremely compact form factor, significantly reducing power transmission losses and freeing up more space for AI computing resources.Processor core: Power density and new architectures for next-gen AI computeAt the processor core—the final stage of power delivery—the challenge shifts toward managing extreme current density and ultra-fast transient response.To support next-generation GPUs requiring massive current delivery and rapid load transitions, Infineon has introduced a digital multiphase PWM controller alongside the industry's first TLVR four-phase power module. These technologies are engineered to provide highly stable, efficient, and responsive power delivery for AI processors operating under increasingly demanding workloads.In response to the next generation of GPUs demanding ultra-high current and rapid load changes, Infineon has introduced digital multiphase PWM controllers and the industry's first TLVR quad-phase module. By leveraging high-precision telemetry and digital control technologies, power systems have transformed from energy suppliers into intelligent platforms capable of real-time monitoring, prediction, and optimization.From AI data center to physical AIIf data centers form the foundation of AI computing power, the physical world will be where AI's true value is ultimately realized. As AI increasingly expands into humanoid robots, autonomous systems, and intelligent manufacturing equipment, demands for energy efficiency, real-time responsiveness, and system reliability will become even more critical.Infineon is extending its long-established expertise in power management beyond data centers into the emerging era of Physical AI. By integrating sensing technologies, actuate, security and connectivity solutions, and high-efficiency power modules, the company is enabling a comprehensive functional blocks that empower humanoid robots to perceive, think, act and connect, safely and secured in a real-world environment.Push the boundaries of power technology in AI era"We Power AI" is not just a slogan for Infineon—it is a concrete commitment to the future of the industry. From gigawatt-scale data centers to physical AI, Infineon continues to push the boundaries of power technology, ensuring that every watt of energy is transformed into the greatest possible value for AI.As the industry advances toward the next generation of computing, energy management will become the decisive key to truly unlocking the full potential of AI.

Reflecting on these collaborative experiences, Dr. Yang asserted that Taiwan’s smart healthcare capabilities, in terms of both clinical techniques and medical quality, are on par with those of other advanced nations. He believes that international platforms like GCIEM will continue to expand Taiwan's global visibility, systematically presenting its achievements and advantages in the smart healthcare sector.NYCU Highlights Physician-Engineer Program to Deepen MedTech IntegrationDr. Yang further pointed out that the integration of medicine and engineering has progressed from the application layer to the talent cultivation system. To address this, NYCU has implemented a six-year Physician-Engineer Program within its Department of Medicine. The program equips medical students with a solid foundation in electrical engineering and computer science, fostering the cross-disciplinary expertise needed to drive medical innovation and bolster Taiwan's talent advantage in both fields. Joe Hsieh added that beyond talent, Taiwan possesses critical competitive advantages, including comprehensive medical data, industry speed, and exceptional system integration capabilities. [1] Joe Hsieh stated that in addition to talent, Taiwan possesses key competitive advantages such as data, speed, and system integration capabilities.He noted that Taiwan's highly concentrated industrial supply chain enables rapid technical integration and product deployment, while its long-accumulated data provides ideal conditions for AI model training.[2] Regarding medical data, Taiwan's long-accumulated data foundation provides optimal conditions for AI applications. Furthermore, the high concentration of Taiwan’s industrial supply chain enables rapid technical integration and product deployment, ensuring extraordinary industrial responsiveness. In terms of system integration, the capability to transform systems into total solutions remains a core advantage of Taiwan's MedTech ecosystem.Addressing collaborations with academic and research institutions, Joe Hsieh pointed out that as AI enters a phase of high specialization, healthcare is a field with significant barriers to entry. This requires deep, tripartite collaboration between enterprises, academia, and medical institutions to effectively bridge technology with clinical needs. He stated that Taiwan's unique geographical and industrial concentration accelerates the verification and deployment of medical research findings. ASUS has currently deployed hundreds of engineers to develop medical AI, utilizing industry-academia-research collaborations to streamline the path to bringing efficient and high-impact results to real-world clinical applications.AI Enters Clinical Decision-Making; Trust Remains the Key to Healthcare SystemsJoe Hsieh further noted that AI's role in the medical field is rapidly transforming. Medical AI has progressed from the early AI 1.0, which focused on image recognition, to AI 2.0, capable of integrating multimodal data. Moving forward, it will transition into Agentic AI featuring task execution and proactive collaboration capabilities, gradually entering the core of medical workflows.Dr. Yang emphasized that AI's clinical positioning is not to replace physicians, but rather to serve as a support system for preliminary screening and alerts. In areas such as image interpretation, endoscopy, and critical care decision-making, AI assists in improving efficiency and reducing the risk of human omission.As AI evolves from assisting in interpretation to participating in workflows, the depth of its application increases. However, the high requirements for accuracy and accountability in healthcare make trust a critical factor for adoption. Joe Hsieh pointed out that due to the inherent uncertainty in AI judgments, reliability must be enhanced through foundational computing power, trustworthy models, and multi-model cross-validation mechanisms.The question of whether Taiwan can transition from a technology adopter to a standard-setter against the backdrop of rapid medical AI development has become a key focus for both the medical and tech industries. Dr. Yang mentioned that standards are not formed through a top-down approach; instead, they emerge from applications recognized by frontline medical staff. These practical experiences are gradually refined and accumulated, eventually transforming into followable guidelines. Joe Hsieh added that the core of standardization lies in verifiability. Establishing consistent workflows through multi-model cross-validation to drive the standardization of decision-making mechanisms will be an essential foundation for developing medical Agentic AI. Throughout this process, Sovereign AI serves as the critical foundation for ensuring data and model autonomy. By leveraging its existing advantages in medical data to build sovereign models and application ecosystems, Taiwan has the opportunity to secure a stronger voice and greater strategic influence in the global development of medical AI.Refocusing on the Patient-Physician Relationship in the Era of AI WorkflowsRegarding the future development of smart healthcare in Taiwan, Dr. Yang suggested starting by enhancing patient-physician interactions. He cited the concept of a "computerless clinic," powered by Ambient Clinical Intelligence (ACI), as a prime example. In this scenario, wearable sensors and Ambient AI systems collect and analyze patient physiological data in real time, while automatically generating electronic health records (EHRs), ordering tests, and entering data into backend systems. This innovation ultimately frees the consultation process from the distractions of manual computer operations.Joe Hsieh concurred, adding from the perspective of real-world deployment that multiple Agentic AI systems featuring voice recognition, image analysis, and sensory capabilities could operate synergistically in the future. This collaborative approach establishes a digital assistant architecture with a clear division of labor. Combined with wearable devices and smart glasses, technology can be integrated seamlessly and invisibly into medical workflows to provide real-time information. This ultimately allows physicians to focus entirely on clinical judgments and patient interactions, thereby elevating overall efficiency and quality of care.Dr. Yang concluded by pointing out that hosting GCIEM 2026 has allowed Taiwan to transition its role in med-tech integration from a mere participant to an active practitioner. As AI advances from a supportive tool to decision-making and execution, the competitive focus within the healthcare industry is shifting from singular technical capabilities to system integration and the establishment of trust mechanisms. The collaboration between ASUS and NYCU demonstrates the pathway from talent cultivation and data accumulation to real-world deployment, gradually forming a replicable and scalable development trajectory. With cross-disciplinary capabilities serving as a solid foundation, Taiwan is poised not only to participate in this smart healthcare transformation but also to define its future direction.
