RE:My apologies to the board...Getting off fossil fuels died with the birth of AI, Just an AI search alone take 10x the energy a google search does, Oracle "We have 162 data centers going to 1000-2000" Got Uranium? Cameco +35% after they dropped this 23 days ago Oracle is planning to build a gigawatt-scale data center powered by three small nuclear reactors (SMRs), according to founder Larry Ellison.
CTO and chairman Ellison told investors during an earnings call this week that Oracle currently has 162 cloud data centers in operation or under construction globally, the largest of which has a capacity of 800MW and is set to house Nvidia GPU clusters.
But the company will "soon" begin the construction of data centers that surpass a gigawatt of capacity, according to Ellison.
One of those projects, Ellison said, has a location already selected and is in the middle of the design process. The data center is set to be nuclear-powered, with Oracle already having building permits for three small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs).
