Akash Systems brings diamond cooling to AI infrastructure
believes it has a solution for the heat problem of graphics processing units: lab-grown diamonds. The company originally got its start in space, managing solar radiation on satellites, and now wants to bring its technology to Earth. Akash Systems' diamonds remove heat incredibly fast, according to Pamit Surana (pictured), co-founder and CCO [...
Key Takeaways
- Akash Systems' co-founder, Pumit Surana, speaks with theCUBE about how the company's lab-grown diamonds are transforming AI data centers.

- In fact, it's five times faster than the second most thermally-conductive element, which is copper.
" Surana spoke with theCUBE's Gemma Allen for theCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Factories - Data Centers of the Future interview series , during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio.
- We're solving the densification issue at a data center, and we're solving increased tokens at the server level.
" Enterprises are currently caught between the existing air-cooled systems and the move to liquid cooling, which has yet to become a full reality.
- So, what do you do with that existing data center?
You have to learn or find ways to operate it to squeeze more power and dedicate it to the servers.
- It's air cooling, liquid cooling; it's a lot of different items.

The company originally got its start in space, managing solar radiation on satellites, and now wants to bring its technology to Earth. Akash Systems' diamonds remove heat incredibly fast, according to Pamit Surana (pictured), co-founder and CCO of Akash Systems, who demonstrated the technology during the interview. "The physics of heat is what we deal with every day, and it's what the ecosystem's dealing with every day," Surana said, as he showed off the diamond's ability to quickly transfer heat into an ice cube.
"That piece of diamond is the most thermally conductive material on Earth. That'll move heat faster from one end to the other than any other material. In fact, it's five times faster than the second most thermally-conductive element, which is copper.
