Where VICR is headed
Vicor spent a decade being dismissed as a boutique power-brick maker for defense contractors and lab instruments. That reputation is now the single biggest mispricing in the AI supply chain. The GB300 generation of Nvidia racks pulls power at densities that fundamentally break the old 12V distribution model. You cannot cool it, you cannot bus-bar it, and you cannot afford the copper losses. The industry is moving to 48V and eventually 400V DC at the rack, and Vicor's factorized power architecture is the only shipping solution that steps down from 48V to sub-1V core voltages at the current densities Blackwell and Rubin demand. This is not a slide-deck claim. It is patented, it is on wafers coming out of the ChiP factory in Andover, and the licensing case against contract manufacturers who copied it is grinding through the ITC.
