Microsoft is deciding whether to finance the project, which might cost as much as 100 times that of setting up a modern datacenter and be ready by 2028.
Stargate could be the largest in a series of AI supercomputers built by Microsoft for OpenAI over the next six years and could consume as much as five gigawatts when complete.
Redmond is said to be developing another supercomputer for the fourth-phase of this AI collaboration, due to launch in 2026.
Given the timeline, it's hard to say whose accelerators Stargate will end up using. Microsoft currently employs Nvidia, AMD, and its own Maia 100 accelerators for a variety of workloads.
