Google New Albany

New Albany, Ohio, United States

Google New Albany is an operational AI data center with AI chips owned by Google and possibly used by Google DeepMind. It hosts an estimated 324k H100-equivalents of AI compute, supported by 333 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $12.6 B. We estimate that it uses Google TPU v5e, Google TPU v5p, and Google TPU v6e chips.

The timeline of IT power and AI compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, chip availability, and chip efficiency.

Building 5 has all cooling towers installed, and all other components look complete, but there is still light work around the building. Based on that, we estimate 3 more months until operational.
