AI infrastructure is no longer constrained by software alone. This article explains the five physical bottlenecks defining the next generation of AI data centers: GPU packaging, high-bandwidth memory, liquid cooling, grid power, and water. Together, these constraints explain why AI infrastructure has become a systems engineering challenge spanning chips, facilities, utilities, and the electrical grid.
