Date 2025-09-22 · announcement Figure measures not stated by the source Stated dates (targets and terms, not events) delivery target: second half of 2026 Stage letter_of_intent Quantity at least · 10 GW (as worded: 'at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems') Scope and limits A letter of intent, not a definitive agreement: the release says the companies looked forward to finalising the details "in the coming weeks". It does not show that a definitive agreement was signed, that any system was delivered or deployed, or what the systems cost. The gigawatt figure is not converted to chips or dollars here; the release’s phrase "millions of GPUs" is a description, not a count. Later status of the letter is an open question.
