Lancaster, Ohio, United States

Google Lancaster is an operational AI data center in Lancaster, OH, USA, with AI chips owned by Google and used by Google DeepMind (likely). It hosts an estimated 87k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 137 MW of IT power — at a capital cost of $5.2 B. We estimate that it uses Google TPU v5e, Google TPU v5p, Google TPU v7, and Google TPU v6e chips. The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, chip availability, and chip efficiency.
