64,000 NVIDIA AI chips ready to get on board! Stargate project is investing billions of dollars, and the Texas Super Data Center is about to launch

OpenAI, Oracle, and (Soft Bank) jointly promote a 100 billion yuan AI infrastructure training project 'Stargate', which is expected to spend tens of billions of dollars to purchase 64,000 (Nvidia) GB200 chips by the end of 2026, and at the same time build a super data center in Texas, USA.

Stargate project launched, building global AI supercomputer in Abilene, Texas

According to Bloomberg, the first data center of the Stargate project, jointly promoted by OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, is located in Abilene, a small town in Texas, USA. Informed sources revealed that the center will complete the deployment of the first batch of 16,000 Nvidia GB200 chips this summer and will expand in phases, ultimately reaching 64,000 chips by the end of 2026. Here are the key points of the Stargate project:

Data center location: Abilene, Texas.

Number of target chips: 64,000 Nvidia GB200.

First deployment time: Summer 2024, 16,000 particles(.

Estimated completion time: by the end of 2026.

The data center will serve as the first stop for the Stargate infrastructure project, and OpenAI may expand to 10 data centers across the United States, forming one of the world's most powerful AI computing and data networks.

AI chip competition is fierce, Stargate joins the battle for acquisition with NVIDIA

The demand for Nvidia's AI chips is in short supply, and global technology giants are rushing to buy in. OpenAI's Stargate is just one of them. Here are some recent AI chip mega-deals:

Elon Musk's xAI: Signed a $5 billion AI server procurement deal with Dell)Dell(, planning to build a supercomputer in Memphis, USA.

Meta: By the end of 2024, the AI computing power is expected to reach 600,000 NVIDIA H100 chips.

AI cloud service provider CoreWeave: with over 250,000 NVIDIA GPUs across 32 data centers.

The 64,000 GB200 chips of the Stargate project, this order may be worth billions of dollars. Although the pricing of GB200 has not been announced yet, CEO Huang Renxun once revealed that the previous generation B200 chip was priced between 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars. Based on this calculation, these chips from Stargate could be worth as much as 19.2 billion US dollars.

Stargate layout across the United States, future data center site selection exposure

In addition to Abilene, Texas, OpenAI and SoftBank employees are also scouting data center locations in other parts of the United States. Possible Stargate expansion locations include:

Pennsylvania )Pennsylvania(

Wisconsin )Wisconsin(

Oregon )Oregon(

Salt Lake City, Utah: Oracle currently has cloud computing facilities in the area

In the coming years, the above locations may become expansion sites for the Stargate super data center, further strengthening OpenAI's leading position in the global AI computing market.

AI war enters the infrastructure arms race

With the explosive demand for AI applications, tech companies are investing heavily in acquiring Nvidia chips. The Stargate project, a joint effort between OpenAI and Oracle, has become one of the world's largest AI computing infrastructures.

In the coming years, we will see more AI super data centers being built, further driving AI technological innovation. Can OpenAI maintain its lead in the AI arms race, and can Nvidia's AI chips meet global market demand? We wait and see.
