A slide from an NVIDIA presentation reveals the "First 800 VDC AI Factory," a scalable power design for high-density, multi-generational AI infrastructure aligned with the OCP 800 VDC architecture. Key elements: upstream AC infrastructure, centralized conversion in redundant end-of-row power centers, 800 VDC 125A rack-level tap cans, and an 800 VDC busbar distributing power to 4 MW scalable units — organized into 16 MW deployment units. It's a major signal of AI datacenter power delivery moving to high-voltage DC.
