Frore Systems Wins Fourth CES Award for LiquidJet AI Cooling
Frore Systems has received its fourth consecutive CES Innovation Award for LiquidJet, a direct-to-chip liquid coldplate designed for AI data centers. The company says the system can deliver up to 25% more AI tokens per watt, potentially reducing the need for additional data center capacity.
- LiquidJet won a CES Innovation Award in the Enterprise Tech category.
- The award is Frore Systems' fourth consecutive CES Innovation Award.
- LiquidJet offers up to 25% more AI tokens per watt, according to Frore.
- LiquidJet Diamond offers up to 35% more AI tokens per watt.
- CES 2027 will take place Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas.
LiquidJet earns recognition in Enterprise Tech
The Consumer Technology Association named Frore Systems a CES Innovation Awards 2027 honoree in the Enterprise Tech category for LiquidJet. The program received nearly 4,000 submissions, according to the announcement, and selects recipients from thousands of applicants through a panel that includes media members, designers and engineers.
The award is Frore Systems' fourth consecutive CES Innovation Award. Seshu Madhavapeddy, the company's CEO and founder, said LiquidJet's architecture is intended to improve coldplate thermal performance while reducing the energy and water required for each AI token.
Two coldplate designs target rising GPU heat
LiquidJet uses a direct-to-chip, 3D ultra short-loop, multi-stage design. Frore Systems says its semiconductor manufacturing process, adapted to metal wafers, allows the coldplate to be customized for the power maps of modern GPUs.
The company says LiquidJet can run GPUs up to 12°C cooler, provide up to 25% more AI tokens per watt and manage hotspot power density of 670 W/cm². Frore's LiquidJet Diamond adds integrated diamond spreaders in the coldplate base. It is described as enabling GPUs to run up to 22°C cooler, with up to 35% more AI tokens per watt and support for hotspot power density of 770 W/cm².
Frore positions the products as drop-in upgrades that can be manufactured at scale and adapted to changing chip layouts. The company contrasts this approach with legacy coldplates that use skived 2D microchannels.
Frore links cooling efficiency to data center demand
In its white paper Cooling Is the Next Revolution, Frore Systems argues that optimizing the full thermal stack could allow data centers to produce over 40% more AI tokens from the same electricity. The company says LiquidJet can reduce the energy and water used per AI token by roughly 20%, while LiquidJet Diamond can reduce it by around 26%.
Frore says these improvements could ease pressure on local power grids, water supplies and land by reducing the number of new facilities needed. Madhavapeddy said that every 100 megawatts of AI capacity upgraded with LiquidJet Diamond could do the work of roughly 135 megawatts.
CES 2027 takes place from Jan. 6 to Jan. 9 in Las Vegas. For AI infrastructure operators, the announcement presents cooling as a way to increase output from existing power and water resources, while the award gives Frore's data center technology visibility alongside its established AirJet cooling products.
