Data Center Dynamics·high signal
Announced July 28: AMD takes roughly 530MW across Pecos (185MW) and Hunt County (110MW) Texas, Dalton Georgia (120MW), Muscogee Oklahoma (82MW) and Auburn Alabama (32MW), with Core Scientific management estimating over $14B in base revenue and an option to scale to 2.5GW. Delivery starts in Pecos and Auburn in H1 2027 and completes by end of 2028; AMD also receives market-priced warrants on Core Scientific stock. Critically, the capacity is for customers deploying Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs — AMD is buying data centers to sell chips, not to run its own training.
