The claim, plainly

Akash Systems expects to achieve chip temperature reductions of 20 to 40 degrees in data centers over the next 12 months.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

On December 12, 2024, then-CEO Felix Ejeckam stated that Akash Systems expected to achieve chip temperature reductions of 20 to 40 degrees in data centers over the next 12 months (setting a stated horizon of December 12, 2025). By the close of the stated 12-month window, Akash Systems had not demonstrated or published verified data center GPU temperature reductions within the 20°C to 40°C range. When commercial diamond-cooled server products were officially launched in early 2026 (such as the MiTAC G8825Z5 system powered by AMD Instinct MI350X GPUs), official product specifications listed temperature reductions of 'up to 10°C', and Ejeckam stated in March 2026 that the diamond application lowers temperatures by '10, 15 degrees Celsius'. Because actual thermal reductions fell materially short of the 20°C to 40°C target within the stated timeframe, the claim resolves as false.

By the December 12, 2025 stated horizon, no public benchmarks, official product specifications, or verified third-party test results showed a 20°C to 40°C reduction on data center GPUs.
Official launch specifications published on March 3, 2026 for Akash Systems' Diamond Cooled AI server (MiTAC G8825Z5) listed a temperature reduction of 'up to 10°C (18°F) on both GPU and High Bandwidth Memory'.
In a March 2026 interview, Felix Ejeckam stated that their diamond cooling application brings GPU temperatures down by '10, 15 degrees Celsius', falling short of the 20°C to 40°C projection.
