The deal includes 529MW of committed leases running 15 years, with AMD holding options for an additional 1,925MW through December 2028. AMD also receives warrants for up to 30 million Core Scientific shares tied to capacity brought online. The partnership comes nine months after Core Scientific shareholders rejected a $9bn CoreWeave takeover, and pushes the company's contracted revenue past $24bn on paper. The capacity will run AMD's Instinct GPUs, EPYC processors, and ROCm software, helping AMD compete with Nvidia in AI infrastructure. Core Scientific shares jumped ~10% on the news while AMD fell over 5%. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
