A report from Bloomberg states that some 64,000 of Nvidia’s flagship Blackwell GB200 chips will be purchased by OpenAI and Oracle as part of the Stargate AI data center project announced in January at a ceremony at the Trump White House.
“OpenAI and Oracle Corp. plan to begin filling a massive new data center in Texas with tens of thousands of powerful AI chips from Nvidia Corp. in the coming months,” Bloomberg reported, “part of a push to get the first facility for their $100 billion Stargate infrastructure venture up and running.”
The data center will be located in Abilene, TX and will house 64,000 of the coveted GB200’s by the end of next year, sources told Bloomberg story, after an opening installation of 16,000 chips within the next six months.
The GB200 Superchip combines a Grace CPU with two enhanced B200 GPUs. They are reportedly priced at between $60,000-$70,000 per chip.
“An OpenAI spokesperson said the startup is working together with Oracle on the design and delivery of the Abilene data center,” Bloomberg reported, “and that Oracle is in charge of getting and operating the supercomputer that is being built there.”
Bloomberg reported that both Oracle and Nvidia did not offer comment on the story.
