A recent small change in the chip industry has stirred the entire data center supply chain. AMD's stock price plummeted over 13%, Johnson Controls and Trane Technologies each fell more than 7%, and Vertiv also didn't escape, dropping over 3%. The trigger is simple—NVIDIA just released news that CEO Jensen Huang revealed at CES that Rubin server chips will use temperature cooling solutions, making traditional water cooling obsolete. With just this one statement, the market's imagination about data center cooling demand has been re-priced. Companies that previously gained valuation premiums from the AI data center demand wave were suddenly squeezed out. In plain terms, this reflects NVIDIA's absolute dominance in the AI industry chain—its strategic decisions are enough to change the entire ecosystem's value logic. For those interested in infrastructure investment, this is also a reminder: the technological route choices in the industry chain are often more impactful than they appear.

A single word from Jensen Huang can cause a market crash—that's the power of a giant... The companies involved in the water cooling concept really got caught in the crossfire.

empirically speaking, nvidia's just demonstrated why centralized protocol design is antithetical to ecosystem health. one exec's throwaway remark nukes billions in market cap—that's not innovation, that's extractive moat behavior. the data suggests we desperately need tokenized infrastructure governance where these decisions get voted on, not dictated. 🤓

Huang Renxun's one sentence directly killed the entire cooling industry chain. This is the power of big companies' influence.

Huang Renxun's one sentence: the water cooling concept is directly dead, this is the true authority in discourse.

NVIDIA in one sentence: Water cooling manufacturers should just go to sleep; this is the true authority.
