AmberSemi CEO Thar Casey Joins Elite Strategy Summit on Energy and AI Data Centers
Thar Casey, CEO of Amber Semiconductor (AmberSemi™), participated in a high-profile, invitation-only Strategy Summit focused on Energy and AI Data Centers. The event, hosted by Senator McCormick of Pennsylvania, brought together top executives from leading companies like Anthropic, Google/Alphabet, AWS, Arm, Blackstone, Blackrock, and senior White House officials, including former President Donald Trump.
The summit took place on July 15, 2025, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It gathered global leaders across AI, energy, infrastructure, investment, and government to discuss the future of AI data centers and the energy challenges they face.
Addressing Energy Efficiency in AI Data Centers
AmberSemi's presence at the summit highlights the company's role in tackling one of the most pressing challenges in AI infrastructure: efficient and high-density power delivery. Casey shared insights on how next-generation power architectures can support scalable AI deployment without relying on building new energy infrastructure.
"It's a significant honor for a disruptive young company like AmberSemi to contribute alongside such esteemed leaders in AI, data centers, and energy," Casey said. He praised Senator McCormick and the President for facilitating discussions that outlined clear strategies to push AI, data centers, and energy leadership forward—not just for Pennsylvania but the entire country.
Casey emphasized that AmberSemi approaches AI's growing energy demands by improving efficiency within the data center itself, rather than simply increasing energy supply. "From the server rack to the motherboard and down to the AI chip, we focus on areas where energy loss is most common and power delivery remains inefficient," he explained.
Innovative Power Delivery Architecture
Power constraints limit AI processing scalability. AmberSemi addresses this by redesigning how power is delivered at the server level. Their solution relocates the power supply from the server rack directly beneath the AI processor on the backside of the motherboard, creating an ultra-short power path.
This design reduces transmission losses and improves efficiency, supporting the high current demands of next-generation AI chips. Crucially, it avoids the need for costly upgrades to existing energy infrastructure.
At the heart of this innovation are AmberSemi’s miniaturized, high-efficiency power supplies, which fit within the limited space beneath the processor. This vertical integration eliminates nearly 50% of wasted power and enables more compact, scalable AI systems capable of handling extreme power densities.
