Why it matters

Shows how much power, compute and land the largest AI campuses will need (Meta Hyperion at 2.3 GW and about 4.2M H100e by 2028). This helps you judge where frontier compute capacity and cost are heading.

Key takeaways · AI-distilled
  • Epoch measures data-center campus area rather than only the buildings holding computing equipment. In its Stargate Abilene example, the planned IT buildings occupy about a tenth of the total campus footprint.
  • Epoch traces cleared land in satellite images and checks it against photos, blueprints and reports. Its outlines approximate campus use rather than exact legal property boundaries.
  • Epoch includes directly adjacent infrastructure such as substations in campus area, but excludes distant infrastructure such as a connected power plant. Its measurements also depend on plans that may change.
