Temple, Texas, United States
Meta Temple is an operational AI data center with AI chips owned and used by Meta. It hosts an estimated 173k H100-equivalents of compute, supported by 152 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $5.8 B. In Q3 2026, we project it to rise to 202k H100-eq compute, 178 MW IT power and a cost of $6.7 B. We estimate that it uses Nvidia B300 chips.
The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, company disclosures, chip availability, and chip efficiency.
A traditional H-shaped Meta data center was partially built here by 2023, only to be demolished in favor of Meta’s new AI-optimized design.

Land clearing begins.
A traditional H-shaped Meta data center is partially built.
The traditional Meta data center has been demolished mid-construction, in favor of Meta's new AI-optimized design.
Building 1 and 2 look complete from outside, with all electrical and cooling equipment installed. Space is cleared for Building 3.
Building 1 and 2 are operational. Activity related to the air quality permit (namely, emergency diesel generators) was reported to have started as of 2025-12-09. This is our best estimate, but note that the planned completion date in this regulatory filing is 2026-03-01.
Building 3 is operational. Based on the stated completion date in this regulatory filing
