SWI Compute Plans 2.3 GW of NVIDIA AI Factory Capacity by 2029

Oct 26, 2026
SWI Compute has emerged from stealth with plans to build and operate AI factories across Europe and the United States. Its first UK facility will use close to 7,000 Rubin GPUs and is expected online by the end of 2027.

SWI Compute emerged from stealth to build and operate NVIDIA AI factories, starting in Europe, the company announced in a press release. The business is backed by 3.6 GW of power capacity secured by parent company SWI Group across Europe and the United States.

Its first large AI factory in the UK will begin with 30 MW, close to 7,000 Rubin GPUs and 3,500 Vera CPUs in NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 racks. The facility is expected online by the end of 2027 and forms the first phase of a campus planned to reach 530 MW.

SWI Compute plans to operate 2.3 GW of NVIDIA AI factory capacity by 2029. It has ordered about $1 billion of NVIDIA systems and signed contracts with initial customers, including a US based AI inference platform.

Whitepaper

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
