[70,000 NVIDIA chips, Armenia’s Hrazdan data center sprints towards Europe’s largest computing cluster] On September 22, San Francisco-based startup Firebird put into operation a data center in Armenia. By the end of next year, the center's installed capacity will reach 300 megawatts and more than 70,000 Nvidia's most advanced chips will be deployed. One-fifth of its computing power is reserved for domestic use—to support local scientific research, government, and the startup ecosystem—with the remainder allocated to foreign companies, including U.S. companies like PerplexityAI. The complex in the town of Hrazdan, about 45 kilometers (28 miles) from the capital Yerevan, is expected to be the largest computing cluster in the region and will be among the largest in Europe, according to Firebird.
