April 8, 2024: published three days ago, over at DataCenter Dynamics -- this doesn't sound particularly good -- but then I don't understand these things ...

Big winner in tech today: TSM. Let that sink in. Folks just don't know it yet.

Data center news:

  • no update on that new data center in Williams County; dead? Maybe a reader knows.
  • meanwhile, Ellendale, ND: 

Applied Digital Corp. has broken ground on its first 100-megawatt high-performance computing facility that will be located about 1 mile west of Ellendale.

The announcement was made Tuesday, Oct. 31, on Applied Digital’s website.

The facility is designed and built for artificial intelligence workloads such as generative AI, natural language processing, machine learning, rendering and traditional high-performance computing applications.

There will be 80 megawatts of IT (information technology) load but it's designed so that every rack in the building can be within 30 meters of the network core.

Meanwhile, to recap:
