Nscale Sines AI campus deployment
Nscale supplies Microsoft with GPU infrastructure at the SINES Data Campus, with a further Rubin deployment announced for late 2027.
Nscale Sines AI campus deployment is an operational GPU cluster run by Nscale in Sines, Portugal. It runs NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra; no installed GPU count is published. Live power: 33 MW (Epoch AI estimate).
Facts
Source per value- Owner / operator Organization that owns or operates the GPUs. Hosting and facility roles are listed under Partners.
- Nscale 1
- GPU maker NVIDIA, AMD or Intel, taken from the GPU model.
- NVIDIA 1
- GPU model Accelerator model or family as disclosed. A GH200 is one GPU on a superchip; an MI300A is an APU that contains a GPU.
- NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra 1
- GPUs installed Physical GPUs in the cluster, from the operator or a deterministic sum of disclosed quantities (nodes × GPUs per node). Planned counts, H100-equivalents and unaudited press totals are never counted here.
- Not published
- GPU count notes What the count covers (one partition, one site, a design limit), qualifiers and competing figures.
- Over 12,600 Blackwell Ultra GPUs in the referenced deployment. 66,000+ Rubin GPUs, starting late 2027. 1

- Sines, Portugal 1
- Country Country of the cluster, taken from the location.
- Portugal 1
- Live power MW Power in service, in megawatts of IT load where the source says so. Company figures are marked in the notes; Epoch AI satellite estimates are labelled as estimates.
- 33 2
- Power notes Basis and date of the power figures, and who published them.
- Epoch AI estimates 33 MW IT live as of 16 Aug 2026. A 200 MW second building is planned for the Rubin expansion. 1
- Status operational = running and named as such by the operator or a primary source; partly operational = a phase is live and more is coming; under construction = building underway; announced = disclosed or contracted with no confirmed go-live.
