Current canonical record

Houses 100,000+ GPUs (200,000 GPUs in Phase 2), dubbed 'gigafactory of compute' by Elon Musk. Investment figure is for new substation only.

A Tennessee General Assembly Fiscal Review Committee memorandum dated March 2, 2026 states that a second xAI-owned Memphis data center with planned capacity of 1,563 MW is expected to come online in 2026. The same memorandum separately lists xAI's existing Memphis data center at 280 MW, distinguishing the large planned second facility from the existing operating footprint.
