Notes
Microsoft Fairwater Wisconsin is set to be the tech giant’s most powerful data center yet. The buildings have a two-story structure, with GPU racks networked vertically as well as horizontally. Each of these GPU buildings is paired with a one-story building dedicated to data storage and processing using CPUs. We estimated compute capacity based on disclosures from Microsoft, and permit applications showing the layout of server racks. Data on Building 3 and 4 is more uncertain, as it is based on the relative sizing of the buildings and mechanical areas in architectural drawings (see this [calculation](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10bfo173cjvehaMqextiRGc95lBdPmtZbLDyNvbEN0N0/edit?gid=0#gid=0&range=B40)).
