  • Breakthrough Diamond Cooling® technology creates the most energy and capital-efficient AI servers in the world
  • Akash's Diamond Cooling® solution is a new innovation in cooling technology that is additive to existing air and liquid cooling technologies
  • Patented technology provides up to $1 million in incremental value per server
  • $300 million received for initial launch order
  • Provides throttle-free performance, up to 10°C (18°F) GPU temperature reduction, up to 100% less power to cooling, up to 22% additional FLOPs/Watt in standard ambient data center temperatures (~75°F), and up to 15% token throughput improvement in high ambient data center temperatures (~120°F)
  • Company backed by Khosla Ventures and Founders Fund
  • SAN FRANCISCO, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Akash Systems, Inc., the pioneer in Diamond Cooling® technology, today announced the launch and availability of the first Diamond Cooled AI servers powered by AMD Instinct™ MI350X GPUs and manufactured by MiTAC Computing (3706.TW). This marks the first AMD Instinct™ GPU commercial deployment of Diamond Cooling® in AI data centers. Akash plans to release Diamond Cooling® solutions for additional AMD Instinct™ GPU systems this year, including the AMD Instinct MI355X GPU and future AMD Instinct GPUs.

    Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of any known material, removing heat 5x faster than copper, the industry standard material for heat management. As a new innovation in cooling technology, Akash's Diamond Cooling® solution is additive and complementary to existing air and liquid cooling technologies. This technology is established in outer space, where it is currently operating in active satellite systems.

    With a breakthrough temperature reduction of up to 10°C (18°F) on both GPU and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), operators gain significantly more compute from the same power systems – improving capital and energy efficiency, Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), data center density, and overall Return on Investment (ROI).

    Throttle-free performance delivers up to 22 percent higher FLOPs per Watt, allowing customers to densify compute and immediately unlock additional capacity within new and existing data centers. A data center could now operate with up to 100% less power dedicated to cooling and maintain high performance up to ~120°F ambient data center temperature, due to the temperature reduction of the GPU. As well, testing from Akash has found this could unlock up to 15 percent throughput improvement. By capturing these performance gains, each Diamond Cooled server could generate up to $1 million in incremental value over four years compared to servers not using Diamond Cooled solutions.

    "AI demand is rapidly outpacing the infrastructure that powers it," said Dr. Felix Ejeckam, Co-Founder & CEO of Akash Systems. "Akash's patented solution breaks through the thermal bottleneck to accelerate AI deployments, profitably. Together with AMD and MiTAC, we are bringing world-class technology and expertise to build the foundation AI needs to scale."  

    The new servers are manufactured and deployed in partnership with MiTAC Computing, a leader in AI, High Performance Computing (HPC), and energy-efficient server solutions, and fully warrantied under existing AMD and manufacturer warranties.

    "Akash Systems' Diamond Cooling® technology showcases how innovation can unlock new performance and efficiency from AMD Instinct™ GPUs," said Travis Karr, Corporate Vice President, Commercial and Enterprise AI business, AMD. "Together with MiTAC's global deployment capabilities, we're enabling data centers to realize impactful compute density and breakthrough energy efficiency."

    "With our global manufacturing capacity and robust engineering capabilities, AI houses and hyperscaler data centers worldwide can quickly deploy these ultra-high performance, energy efficient systems to increase their compute power and gain a decisive competitive edge," said Rick Hwang, President, MiTAC Computing.

    This collaboration enables the first Akash Diamond Cooled MiTAC AI servers powered by AMD Instinct™ MI350X Series GPUs, to deliver transformative benefits across demanding applications by using the Diamond Cooling® technology to help maintain low GPU temperatures, which helps prevent thermal throttling, and can extend hardware lifespan.

    The MiTAC servers are also powered by two 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ 9005 CPUs, AMD Pensando™ Pollara 400 AI NICs, and the latest AMD ROCm™ software stack which together provide the throughput and open software ecosystem, helping data centers accelerate AI workloads and scale sustainably.

The partnership will provide Citibank Singapore's Citigold Private Client customers with exclusive Porsche experiences to celebrate their birthdays:

  • A Full-Day Porsche Experience: Clients can enjoy a one-day unsupervised test drive in a Porsche model of their choice. The experience is enhanced with Porsche's signature delivery service, including a full vehicle handover and orientation in Porsche's exclusive delivery bays.
  • An Extended Accompanied Test Drive: This curated experience begins with a light breakfast at Porsche Studio Singapore, featuring treats from Café Carrera. Following this, clients will embark on a guided 60 to 90-minute test drive accompanied by a Porsche product specialist.

"We are thrilled to partner with Porsche, a brand that deeply resonates with our clients' aspirations," said Yeo Wenxian, Head of Wealth for Asia South at Citi and CEO of Citibank Singapore. "At Citi, we are privileged to serve some of the most successful individuals and families in Asia, whose definition of wealth is increasingly defined by the richness of life's experiences, not just financial returns. Porsche's legacy of performance and innovation mirrors our own commitment to providing exceptional financial guidance and opportunities. Through this partnership, we move beyond the expected to create something truly distinctive, curating a suite of exclusive privileges and experiences to help our clients build a legacy of moments that matter and creating lasting memories with those they love."

"This partnership with Citibank reflects our shared commitment to delivering meaningful, experience-led engagements for a new generation of discerning clients," said Andre Brand, General Manager of Porsche Singapore. "At Porsche, we believe the essence of our brand is best understood from behind the wheel, and together with Citi, we are excited to introduce highly personal opportunities for Citigold Private Client customers to connect with our sports cars in an authentic and memorable way. This is a natural partnership built on a mutual focus on performance, precision, trust and exceptional quality at every touchpoint."
