On Thursday, Intel announced two major investment plans aimed at creating more sustainable data center technology. The Santa Clara-based chip giant will spend more than $700 million to build a 200,000-square-foot research and development facility. Rather, the lab will address issues such as heat recovery and reuse, immersion cooling, and improved water efficiency.

Second, the lab will test and validate Intel’s data center product lines from Xeon and Optane, as well as Agilex FGPA and Xe architecture products.

Customers and partners will be able to tour the lab and see Intel products in action in a data center environment to assess their suitability for their operational needs.

The research lab is planned to open later this year on the Jones Farm campus in Hillsboro, Oregon. If all goes well, Intel is expected to complete it sometime in the second half of 2023.

In addition, the company disclosed a reference design for the industry’s first open IP-based immersion cooling solution. Intel hopes to simplify and accelerate the rollout of its immersion liquid cooling solution in the global market.

Finally, Intel is developing a proof-of-concept with partners in Taiwan, and will follow a phased rollout from local to other market regions.

It should be pointed out that Intel is not the only tech giant interested in immersion liquid cooling technology. More than a year ago, Microsoft also announced that it was testing a “two-phase immersion” cooling scheme to avoid overheating of toaster-like servers.
