According to the Financial Times, which cites several sources of information, Oracle plans to spend approximately $40 billion on the purchase of Nvidia ‘ s latest generation high-performance chip GB200 to provide arithmetical support for OpenAI ‘ s new data centre in Abilin, Texas, United States.
According to several sources, Oracle will purchase approximately 400,000 of the most powerful GB200 chips in British Weidar and lease the algorithm to OpenAI to support its AI data centre. The data centre is part of the United States Stargate Project, led by the country’s top AI company, and aims to enhance the global competitiveness of the United States in the AI industry.
GB200 is the latest product of the Blackwell architecture in England, with a value of $100,000 per block, designed for AI training and reasoning, with performance several times higher than H100 and suited to the computational needs of large models such as ChatGPT. OpenAI ‘ s data centre covers about three football fields and consumes 1.2 GW. This will be one of the largest AI data centres in the world, with a dedicated calculator for OpenAI ‘ s AI model.
It was reported that the data centre was expected to be fully operational by mid-2026 and Oracle had agreed to lease the site for 15 years. The Financial Times added that Morgan Chase had provided two loans totalling $9.6 billion to finance the main debt, while the site owner, Crusoe Energy and the United States investment company Blue Owl Capital, had invested about $5 billion in cash.
The data centre will help OpenAI to reduce reliance on Microsoft, its largest supporter, as the computing needs of ChatGPT manufacturers exceed Microsoft ‘ s supply capacity. For Oracle, the data centre and the Stargate Project are opportunities to improve cloud computing and catch up with market leaders Microsoft, Amazon and Google.
This procurement may have increased the global supply of AI chips, which alone account for one third of the estimated GB200 capacity in 2025. According to analysts, the deal would further boost the market value of Ying Weida by consolidating its dominance in the AI hardware market.
At the same time, OpenAI, Oracle and Weeda are also involved in the Middle East’s Stargate Project, which will create a new super-large AI data centre in the United Arab Emirates, with an estimated use of over 100,000 British Weeda chips.
