Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced on Wednesday that they have designed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the P6e-GB200 UltraServers</a> to meet the skyrocketing compute demands driven by the latest advancements in generative AI, including trillion-parameter foundation models, reasoning systems, and agentic AI.
AWS has engineered custom hardware to cool next-generation Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs used <a target="_blank" href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/aws-ai-infrastructure-with-nvidia-blackwell-two-powerful-compute-solutions-for-the-next-frontier-of-ai/" rel="noreferrer noopener">in AI workloads</a>.
Recognizing the high energy demands of Nvidia&#8217;s latest chips, AWS decided not to wait and build new liquid-cooled data centers.

Instead, its engineers developed the In-Row Heat Exchanger (IRHX)—a solution that integrates with existing and new data centers to manage heat from dense GPU configurations, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/amazon-web-services-builds-heat-exchanger-to-cool-nvidia-gpus-for-ai.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Wednesday.
These UltraServers feature up to 72 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, all interconnected using fifth-generation Nvidia NVLink, allowing the GPUs to operate as a single, unified compute system.
Dave Brown, AWS VP of Compute and Machine Learning Services explained that off-the-shelf cooling options couldn&#8217;t meet the demands of Nvidia&#8217;s GB200 NVL72 systems, which pack 72 Blackwell GPUs into a single rack. Traditional air cooling was sufficient for previous GPU generations, but AWS had to innovate to keep pace with the increased compute intensity of today&#8217;s systems.
AWS now offers this infrastructure through its P6e instances, providing customers with the performance required to train and deploy large-scale AI models with advanced thermal support.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and CoreWeave (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) have previously offered computing clusters built on Nvidia&#8217;s GB200 NVL72 architecture.
In March, Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44532855/intels-superfluid-cooling-tech-possibly-suitable-for-nvidias-gb300-chips-says-expert-amid-intcs-efforts-to-secure-commitments-for-foundry-services" rel="noreferrer noopener">positioned its SuperFluid cooling</a> technology as a strong contender for managing the heat generated by Nvidia&#8217;s high-powered GB300 AI chips.
Launched in 2023, SuperFluid has reportedly passed verification tests showing it can handle thermal loads up to 1,500 watts, surpassing the 1,400-watt consumption expected from Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell Ultra GB300 chips.
In June, AI server company Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) expanded its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45881923/supermicro-teams-up-with-nvidia-to-supercharge-europes-ai-factories-with-powerful-server-solutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">liquid-cooled AI server solutions</a> for Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell architecture into the European market.
The company introduced over 30 solution stacks for Nvidia HGX B200, GB200 NVL72 and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell deployments, helping enterprises speed up AI factory rollouts.
Supermicro is scaling its portfolio with new liquid-cooled systems, including a 4U front I/O HGX B200 server powered by its DLC-2 technology. These systems enable customers to run high-density AI workloads while maintaining thermally efficient systems.
By working closely with Nvidia, Supermicro is also preparing to support next-generation Blackwell Ultra chips, such as the GB300 NVL72 and HGX B300, later this year.
Price Action: AMZN stock was down 0.34% at $221.79 premarket as of the last check on Thursday. NVDA is up 0.85%.

RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RICK#NASDAQ">RICK</a>) reported club and restaurant sales for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2025. Sales do not include non-core operations and are subject to final closing. Full 3Q25 financial results are expected to be reported by August 11, 2025.
Eric Langan, President and CEO of RCI, commented: "Total Nightclubs sales remained fairly steady year-over-year, and with the recent change in management, total Bombshells sales increased sequentially. Year-to-date, Nightclubs sales on a total and same-store basis are down only about 1% year-over-year, which is better than would have been expected considering all the economic uncertainty about tariffs and the tax bill."

Nightclubs (60 locations contributing to 3Q25 sales): Total sales included the addition of $2.3 million from four new clubs (Flight Club in Detroit, acquired January 2025; Platinum West in West Columbia, SC, acquired early April 2025; Platinum Plus in Allentown, PA, acquired mid-June 2025; and Rick's Cabaret &amp; Steakhouse in Central City, CO, opened late June 2025), and $976 thousand from four rebranded/reformatted Texas clubs not in SSS in El Paso, Harlingen, Lubbock and Tye. These eight clubs mostly offset the SSS decline and the absence of a club due to fire in July 2024.
Bombshells (10 locations contributing to 3Q25 sales): Total sales primarily reflected the divestiture and closing of five underperforming locations in 4Q24 and 1Q25 and the SSS decline, partially offset by the Denver, CO location (opened January 2025).

<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
