Infineon Technologies AG is advancing its collaboration with NVIDIA on 800V direct current (VDC) power architectures for AI data centres. The announcement, timed with NVIDIA’s GTC Berlin developer conference, focuses on high-voltage intermediate bus converters (IBCs). These IBCs are critical conversion stages in the power delivery chain of AI data centres. Infineon states its gallium nitride (GaN) technology is well suited for this stage. This builds on joint work first announced in May 2025 and detailed in October 2025.

Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said artificial intelligence companies must take responsibility for making their models safe rather than wait for governments to introduce new regulations, CNBC reported. Speaking at Nvidia’s GTC conference in Berlin, Huang said companies should address known risks immediately because legislation takes time to develop and implement. “If there are concerns that exist today, it is your responsibility to take accountability and do something about it now, instead of waiting for laws and regulations to happen, which takes time,” Huang said.
