Core Scientific and AMD announce a 15-year infrastructure partnership where AMD secures up to 2.5 gigawatts of data center capacity across five Core Scientific campuses for $14 billion.
MIAMI and SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28, 2026 — Core Scientific and AMD have announced a strategic partnership to advance AI infrastructure, with AMD securing up to 2.5 gigawatts of data center capacity to support end-customer deployments of its AI solutions. Under the agreement, the companies will collaborate on physical infrastructure design and the deployment of AMD Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs, and ROCm software.
As artificial intelligence demand accelerates, access to power, land, and data center infrastructure has become essential to bringing new AI compute online. The partnership expands capacity for the AMD ecosystem with more than 500 megawatts of U.S.-based infrastructure coming online beginning in 2027, with provisions to scale up to 2.5 gigawatts. By granting AMD broader access to Core Scientific’s AI-ready facilities, the deal enables end customers to deploy AI workloads faster and at greater scale.
“AI deployments are accelerating rapidly, and bringing that compute online requires trusted infrastructure partners with the scale and power to support the next era of AI,” said Mathew Hein, senior vice president and chief strategy officer of corporate development at AMD. “Core Scientific’s extensive portfolio of AI-ready data centers expands access to the infrastructure our customers need to deploy AMD AI solutions at scale. Together, we are helping model builders, cloud providers and enterprises accelerate AI adoption while strengthening the AMD ecosystem.”
“We are proud to establish a strategic relationship with AMD and support the continued deployment of its next-generation products,” said Adam Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Core Scientific. “Our proven execution capabilities and ability to deliver high-density infrastructure at scale position us to support AMD’s technology roadmap and grow our relationship meaningfully over time.”
In addition to the infrastructure agreement, AMD will receive market-priced warrants to purchase Core Scientific’s common stock, contingent upon the satisfaction of certain commercial conditions.
Core Scientific designs, builds, and operates large-scale, purpose-built data centers for high-density colocation (HDC) services. The company operates facilities dedicated to AI-related workloads and serves as a premier provider of digital infrastructure and services to third-party clients. The majority of Core Scientific’s revenue comes from HDC services, with the remainder generated from earning digital assets for its own account and from digital asset mining hosting services. The company is actively repurposing its remaining mining facilities to support its HDC business as operational circumstances allow. Core Scientific’s facilities are located across Alabama (1), Georgia (2), Kentucky (1), North Carolina (1), North Dakota (1), Oklahoma (1), and Texas (4).
