Core Scientific and AMD have partnered to deploy up to 2.5 gigawatts of AI data center capacity, starting with 500+ megawatts of U.S. infrastructure in 2027. AMD gains reserved access to optimised facilities for its Instinct GPUs, EPYC processors and ROCm software; Core Scientific secures long-term demand and diversifies away from crypto mining.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
AMD just locked down 2.5 gigawatts of dedicated capacity; if you're building AI infrastructure, networking, power delivery or cooling systems for dense GPU clusters, you now have a verified buyer with committed deployment timelines starting 2027. Core Scientific's ex-mining sites also mean there's suddenly a proven path to repurposing stranded power assets for AI workloads.
