Google New Albany

New Albany, Ohio, United States

Google New Albany is an operational AI data center in New Albany, OH, USA, with AI chips owned by Google and used by Google DeepMind (likely). It hosts an estimated 207k H100-equivalent chips, scaling toward a projected 318k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 339 MW of IT power, rising to 453 MW — at a capital cost of $12.8 B, rising to $17.2 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, our cooling equipment power model, chip availability, and chip efficiency.
