Core Scientific says it has signed a data-center agreement with AMD to supply U.S. AI infrastructure starting in 2027. Multiple outlets report the arrangement initially covers more than 500 megawatts of capacity, with provisions to expand the commitment over time up to 2.5 gigawatts. The Block adds that the companies’ partnership is tied to Core Scientific’s AI pivot and includes financial terms that provide AMD warrants to buy Core Scientific (CORZ) stock. Quartz similarly emphasizes the capacity timeline and the expansion option, framing the agreement as AMD securing access to additional AI data-center power in the United States. The Next Web places the announcement in context of Core Scientific’s broader efforts to shift away from prior business models, noting that it follows a failed attempt to pursue a large transaction with CoreWeave. Across the reports, the core points are that Core Scientific and AMD are aligning on U.S. AI data-center capacity beginning in 2027, with scaling potential up to 2.5GW, and that the deal includes stock-related terms for AMD.
