Microsoft SAT40

San Antonio, Texas, United States

Microsoft SAT40 is an operational AI data center hosting an estimated 65k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 75 MW of IT power — at a capital cost of $2.8 B. We estimate that it uses Nvidia H100 and Nvidia B300 chips. The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, chip availability, and chip efficiency.
