Core Scientific has secured AMD as a paying customer at five of its data center locations, expanding its client base beyond crypto mining and AI training firms. The agreement positions Core Scientific as a multi-site infrastructure partner for one of the two largest GPU manufacturers competing with Nvidia. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal covers compute hosting across five named facilities. The arrangement reflects AMD's accelerating push to build out its own inference and training infrastructure independent of hyperscaler cloud platforms.
Core Scientific's pivot from Bitcoin mining to AI compute hosting has been one of the more closely watched infrastructure transitions in the sector, and landing AMD as a multi-site customer validates that business model at scale. For AMD, securing dedicated colocation capacity at five sites supports its ability to offer on-demand compute without relying entirely on third-party cloud providers.
Named companies Core Scientific and AMD, multi-site customer agreement, and the AI compute infrastructure angle triggered selection. The AMD-Cerebras and AMD Helios stories already published cover different AMD initiatives; this is a distinct colocation customer agreement.
