Flex Expands Manufacturing with New Dallas Facility for AI Power Solutions

Feb 21, 2025
Flex has announced the opening of a new 400,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Dallas to enhance its production capacity for AI-driven power infrastructure solutions.

Flex has announced the expansion of its U.S. manufacturing capacity with a new 400,000-square-foot facility in Dallas, according to a press release. This facility is designed to serve as a hub for Flex's North American customer base, focusing on the production of power pods, power distribution units, and low-voltage switchgear.

The strategic investment aims to meet the increasing demand for power infrastructure driven by AI adoption. The Dallas facility will enhance Flex's ability to deliver efficient power solutions from the grid to the chip, reducing production lead times for U.S. customers. This expansion follows Flex's acquisition of Crown Technical Systems in October 2024, further solidifying its commitment to the data center market.

Chris Butler, President of Embedded and Critical Power at Flex, emphasized the importance of reliable and scalable power infrastructure as AI adoption accelerates. The new facility is expected to provide next-generation power solutions that maximize computing performance while minimizing deployment times.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
