An undisclosed US customer has placed a $300 million order for AMD Instinct MI350X GPU servers that use lab-grown diamonds to move heat away from the chips, according to Akash Systems, the Peter Thiel-backed startup supplying the cooling technology. The purchase signals how thermal management is fast becoming a strategic lever for AI data centers chasing more performance per watt. Inside The Unusual Deal For Diamond-Cooled AMD GPU Servers Akash says the buyer is keeping a low profile, but the scope suggests a hyperscaler, AI lab, or a large developer outfitting multiple high-density racks. Taiwan-based MiTAC Computing will manufacture the servers, integrating a synthetic diamond component between each GPU and the heat sink—a new layer in the cooling stack designed to spread heat more efficiently than conventional metals. AMD’s Instinct MI350X accelerators anchor the build, positioning the system squarely at large-scale training and inference where per-rack power now routinely stretches past traditional limits. Akash declined to share deployment timing or product photos, noting the solution is distinct from previously shown diamond plates. Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Used For Advanced GPU Cooling Lab-grown diamond—typically fabricated via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) rather than mined—has the highest known thermal conductivity among bulk materials. Akash cites heat removal up to five times faster than copper, the industry’s go-to heat spreader. In practice, a diamond layer can flatten hot spots and shuttle heat into a heat sink or cold plate more uniformly, keeping multi-hundred-watt GPUs in their top performance envelope and reducing throttling under heavy loads. Research groups and startups are racing to industrialize this idea beyond bespoke parts. IEEE Spectrum has profiled efforts to create wafer-scale diamond films, while Diamond Foundry has discussed bonding thin diamond layers to the backs of silicon wafers to pull heat out at the die level, coverage that h...

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) fell 0.95% to 6,816.59, the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) lost 1.02% to 22,516.69, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) slid 0.83% to 48,501.28 after an oil‑driven, geopolitics‑fueled sell‑off partially retraced from deeper intraday lows. Market movers Energy‑sensitive travel and airline names, including major U.S. carriers, sank as soaring jet‑fuel costs and Middle East route disruptions pressured sentiment, while perceived defensive stalwart Berkshire Hathaway and defense contractor Lockheed Martin held up relatively better amid heightened war‑related spending expectations. What this means for investors While market-wide drops like today’s can be anxiety-inducing, it is paramount for investors to step back and look at the long term. Yes, the market faces significant headwinds as the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict drives surging oil and gas prices and disrupts shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The heightened geopolitical risk triggered a global sell-off, with South Korea's Kospi dropping 7% and the S&P 500 turning negative year-to-date. A prolonged conflict could further pressure markets by reigniting inflation and forcing interest rates higher. That said, in these times, I believe it is best to look back at history to provide some guidance on what we might face as long-term investors. A perfect example of this guidance came from Ryan Detrick, Carson Group’s Chief Market Strategist (and recent Motley Fool Money podcast guest). He analyzed 43 geopolitical and major historical events the U.S. faced from 1940 onward. He found that the median return of the S&P 500 was 5.3% just six months after these events. In fact, the market was higher 65% of the time in the year following the events. Despite facing these trying times, the market essentially went up two in every three years. Oddly enough, this percentage basically matches the figure from one of The Motley Fool’s co-founder, David Gardner’s nine self-evident Foolis...
神译局是36氪旗下编译团队，关注科技、商业、职场、生活等领域，重点介绍国外的新技术、新观点、新风向。 编者按：4天从0到1，不写代码的高管凭什么跑赢整学期开发？当AI抹平门槛，“管理意图”成了最硬核的生存技能。文章来自编译。 我最近在宾夕法尼亚大学上了一门实验性课程，要求学生们在四天内从零开始创建一个创业项目。班里的大多数学生都是高管 MBA（EMBA）项目的，他们在上课的同时，还在各类大中小型公司担任医生、经理或领导者。其中几乎没有人写过代码。我向他们介绍了 Claude Code 和 Google Antigravity，让他们利用这些工具构建一个可运行的原型。但仅有原型并不等同于一家创业公司，因此他们还利用 ChatGPT、Claude 和 Gemini 来加速创意生成、市场调研、竞争定位、路演宣讲以及财务建模等流程。我很好奇他们在这么短的时间内能走多远。事实证明，他们走得非常远。 演示案例包括：由 Dee Sethmajhi、Jane Lian Wang 和 Yue Ma 开发的 Ticket Passport（一个验证票务销售市场）；由 Whit Chiles、Jose Olivares 和 Spencer Louie 开发的 Revenue Resilience（识别小企业的收入风险并创建智能体解决方案）；由 Manoj Massand、Samuel Lee 和 Harry Lu 开发的育儿伴侣（将孩子的兴趣与活动匹配）；以及由 Angela Argentati、Sabeen Chawla 和 Adeel Rizwan 开发的 Invive（血糖预测）。（还有很多其他优秀的项目，但这几个团队授权我可以分享截图！） 我已经教了十五年的创业课，见过成千上万个创业想法（其中一些已经发展成了大型公司），所以我对一群聪明的 MBA 学生能达到什么水平有很清晰的预判。我估计，在这两天里我所看到的成果，在通往真实创业公司的道路上，比 AI 时代之前学生花一整个学期做出的东西还要超前一个数量级。大多数原型不仅仅是几个演示画面，而是真正实现了核心功能的运作。创意比以往更加多样且有趣，市场和客户分析也极具洞察力。这确实令人印象深刻。虽然这些项目还不是成熟的创业公司，也不是完全投产的产品（除了少数几个例外），但它们比传统流程节省了数月的时间、巨额的资金和巨大的精力。此外还有一...
