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.

AI datacenter metrics
Figures beyond an accelerator count, each with who stated it. What can and cannot be compared across AI datacenters.
| Metric | Value | As of | Basis | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Facility power | 1,000 MW | 2025-12 | Design target | 1 GW Stargate UAE cluster (G42 and The National), first 200 MW phase due Q3 2026; the 5 GW campus figure in the live row is the wider UAE-US campus | thenationalnews.comg42.ai |
| Facility power | 5,000 MW | 2025-05 | Design target | Whole 5 GW UAE-US AI Campus that contains the 1 GW Stargate UAE cluster; capacity_claims only holds 200 MW and 1 GW. Campus target, G42 plus press echo. | g42.aithenationalnews.com |
How it is powered
| Source | Provider | MW | Status | As of | Basis | Note | Source link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nuclear | - | - | planned | 2025-05 | Design target | G42: the 5 GW UAE-US AI campus (home of the 1 GW Stargate UAE cluster) will be powered by nuclear, solar and natural gas. No supplier, MW split or PPA disclosed. | g42.ai |
| Wind and solar | - | - | planned | 2025-05 | Design target | G42 names solar as one of three planned sources for the 5 GW campus; no supplier, MW or contract disclosed. | g42.ai |
| Utility gas plant | - | - | planned | 2025-05 | Design target | G42 names natural gas as one of three planned sources for the 5 GW campus; no supplier, MW or contract disclosed. | g42.ai |
How AI campuses are powered: capacities are what the operator, utility or filing states, not what has been delivered.

The read
A one-gigawatt AI cluster in Abu Dhabi announced by G42 in May 2025, with a first 200 MW phase due in 2026 and NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GB300 systems. G42 and the press that quotes its project are effectively one source, and we found nothing showing the first phase is live, so it stays under construction and reported. The 1 GW and 200 MW figures are capacity targets, not a measured draw, so power is blank. A GPU count seen in search results could not be fetched from a source, so no count is recorded.
