Google Bristow

Bristow, Virginia, United States

Google Bristow is an operational AI data center with AI chips owned by Google and used by Google DeepMind. It hosts an estimated 284k H100-equivalents of compute, supported by 279 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $10.6 B. We estimate that it uses Google TPU v5e, Google TPU v5p, Google TPU v6e, and Google TPU v7 chips.

The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery and our cooling equipment power model.
