Oracle is investing $40 billion in AI infrastructure through the acquisition of Nvidia's GB200 superchips for a new data center in Abilene, Texas. OpenAI will utilize the significant computing power from this facility, employing a staggering total of 400,000 superchips. However, concerns regarding the power consumption of this data center arise, as the facility's total energy demands are projected to exceed its capacity. Despite these issues, Oracle plans a phased rollout until 2026 to ensure operational efficiency.
The enormous investment by Oracle aims to build the first American Stargate data center in Texas for AI training, leveraging Nvidia's advanced superchips.
Oracle will equip the Abilene data center with 11,000 racks, aiming to achieve 16 zettaFLOPS, but faces power supply challenges.
