El campus de inteligencia artificial de Ohio, Estados Unidos, será uno de los mayores del mundo. Leer
Nvidia has pledged to invest up to $105 billion, approximately €90.6 billion, in building an enormous data center for OpenAI in Ohio, United States. This project, spearheaded by SB Energy, a company with SoftBank as a stakeholder, is aimed at constructing a facility with up to 8 gigawatts of power, making it one of the largest AI complexes globally.
OpenAI has entered into a 20-year lease agreement. As part of this deal, Nvidia will be the sole supplier of chips, investing $1.5 billion in SB Energy in exchange for a shareholding. The operation demonstrates how the chip manufacturer is utilizing its balance sheet to expedite the deployment of AI infrastructures.
Nvidia will cover costs related to land purchase, electricity supply, and infrastructures for the campus. It's planned that the complex will commence operations in 2028 with 800 megawatts of power, though completion is not expected until 2032.
In a statement, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed that the initial deployment had anticipated a capacity of 4.25 gigawatts of Nvidia chips for this AI factory. Each generation of Nvidia systems installed in the complex could add around 1.5 million chips, potentially generating between $150 billion and $200 billion for the company. Huang assures that over the 20-year period, there will be several cycles of technological renewal.
Recently, Nvidia struck a $500 billion deal with a consortium of Wall Street firms to bolster the development of AI infrastructures.
