Fayetteville, Georgia, United States
Microsoft Fairwater Atlanta is an operational AI data center in Fayetteville, GA, USA, with AI chips owned by Microsoft and used by OpenAI (likely) and Microsoft (likely). It hosts an estimated 743k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 636 MW of IT power — at a capital cost of $24.1 B. We estimate that it uses Nvidia B200 chips. The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, drone imagery, company disclosures, chip availability, and chip efficiency. Built by QTS with Microsoft as the tenant, Fairwater Atlanta likely provides training compute for OpenAI and is disclosed to contain NVIDIA GB200 GPUs.

Land clearing begins for southern part (Building 1-2)
Building 1 and 2 are operational. Building 1 looked operational sooner, but the buildings are paired in the Fairwater design. The roof of Building 4 is almost complete, while mechanical equipment is still being installed.
Building 4 roof is complete and all mechanical equipment appears to be installed. However, there is still a lot of construction activity around the building.
Building 4 still has some equipment strewn around the perimeter, so we think it is still going through commissioning. Two new buildings at the campus have shells underway, but we don't know if Microsoft is the tenant for those.
Building 3 and 4 are operational.
