Microsoft unveils Fairwater, the world's most powerful AI datacenter

View profile for Scott Guthrie

Executive Vice President at Microsoft

We’re scaling AI like never before. Today in Wisconsin, Microsoft unveiled Fairwater—the world’s most powerful AI datacenter. Built on a flat network fabric inter-connecting hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 GPUs, it’s designed to deliver up to 10x the performance of today’s fastest supercomputer. And this is just the beginning. Identical sites are underway across the U.S., built to work as one—delivering breakthrough performance for training, inference, and real-time AI at scale.

Scott Guthrie The challenge to be a leader in AI is not building data centers but building a Value model for AI that is adopted by the ecosystem, Microsoft is walking into the same trap that it set up for itself in the mobile ecosystem by buying Nokia. Satya Nadella Brad Smith to have posted the same messages of this new data center, but building a big datacenter is an afterthought after the AI model is adopted and accepted by the ecosystem. It is like saying you have build a road in 1790 when the petrol engine is yet to be built and automobiles will follow later after 1895. It seems to me a repeat of the Mobile ecosystem play of buying Nokia for dominating the mobile market. No one at Microsoft wondered then if the mobile ecosystem was changing because of Apples IOS systems and App stores. Buying Nokia was similar to we set up the large data center announcement you make above. Apple came to the mobile ecosystem battle with a well defined VBE model. https://youtu.be/sXiKeSmpLlQ?si=dy8I1F3wIt8cABqH
