Also known as CoreAIC
Operated by Korea AI Computing Center Co. at Solaseado Data Center Park, Haenam .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrator | - Samsung SDS-led consortium builds and operates the centre through a special-purpose company | Korea AI Computing Center Co. | - | Reported | korea.net |
| Accelerator | - NVIDIA B300 (Blackwell Ultra) for initial deployment then Vera Rubin, within a 15,000-chip target that also includes domestic NPUs (single-source detail) | NVIDIA | - | Reported | techtimes.com |

The read
South Korea's state-backed National AI Computing Center at the Solaseado Data Center Park in Haenam, South Jeolla. The Ministry of Science and ICT picked the Samsung SDS-led consortium (Naver Cloud, Samsung C&T, Kakao, Samsung Electronics, KT) as preferred partner in March 2026, a special-purpose company was set up in June 2026, and the groundbreaking was held on 3 August 2026. The target is 15,000 advanced AI chips (GPUs and domestic NPUs) by 2028 on a total investment of 2.5 trillion won, with completion in 2028 (The Elec and SBS also report partial compute from Samsung SDS data centers from 2027). TechTimes reports NVIDIA B300 (Blackwell Ultra) for the first deployment, then Vera Rubin, and a 40 MW power figure; neither appears in the other cited articles, so no power or capacity claim is recorded. Not yet operating.

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
