LiquidJet Diamond combines the expertise it used for its original LiquidJet coldplate product and the LiquidJet Nexus bespoke coldplate for Nvidia Blackwell and Nvidia Rubin-based servers. Unlike Nexus, which integrates multiple coldplates into a large cooling assembly for several processors, LiquidJet Diamond is an individual GPU coldplate, albeit a bespoke one.

From an internal technology perspective, Frore’s coldplates employ a three-dimensional, ultra-short-loop, multi-stage architecture with coolant channels customized for the power distribution of a specific processor. Meanwhile, the key innovation in LiquidJet Diamond is an additional heat spreader integrated into the bottom of the coldplate. This spreader incorporates diamond wafers positioned directly above the GPU’s hotspots to distribute heat more efficiently before it reaches the liquid-cooling structure. Diamond (carbon) has exceptionally high thermal conductivity, which can exceed 20 W/cm·K, compared with approximately 4 W/cm·K for copper. According to Frore, the addition of diamond heat spreaders allows LiquidJet Diamond to handle hotspots with power densities of up to 770 W/cm², compared with approximately 600 W/cm² for the original LiquidJet. However, the company has not disclosed how the diamond wafers are manufactured or integrated into the coldplate.

According to Frore, its original LiquidJet coldplate reduces GPU temperatures by approximately 12C compared with conventional skived coldplates (based on its simulation model), which translates into a 25% improvement in AI tokens per watt, according to the company’s estimates. Meanwhile, a custom Liquid Diamond heatspreader promises to further reduce hotspot temperatures by up to 10°C, while the complete LiquidJet Diamond solution provides a 16C – 22C reduction in GPU temperatures and improves token efficiency by 30%–35%, Frore claims. The company also expects 75% higher heat-transfer efficiency and over 150% higher maximum hotspot power density than conventional cold plates based on its models.

Frore plans to demonstrate LiquidJet Diamond at the OCP Global Summit on October 12 – 16, where it will showcase cooling for Nvidia's 2,300W Rubin accelerator and hotspots reaching 770 W/cm². However, the company has not disclosed whether the demonstration involves production GPUs or some type of thermal test vehicle.
