A gigawatt is a lot of power. That's more than a million fancy Nvidia cards, and at peak power not average. Apparently you can get around 40 nvidia cards in a rack, so that's 25000 racks, give or take.

It all sounds like one of those startups that plan to grow to the size of Facebook, maybe by next Tuesday. And then expanding to five times that.

>An artificial intelligence data center that would use more electricity than every home in Wyoming combined before expanding to as much as five times that size will be built soon near Cheyenne, according to the city’s mayor.
