Meta Temple is notable for a mid-flight change in construction. A traditional H-shaped Meta data center was partially built on the site by 2023, only to be demolished in favor of Meta's new AI-optimized data center design. The power capacity of the new design was reported by construction company JE Dunn, and is backed up by our cooling model. Later, a third data center building was added to the plan. Compute capacity assumes that NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 servers are used, as these are the most popular
