What the later record shows
Outcome not yet confirmed
Later passages mention only the plan to retrofit Childress air-cooled data centers and Blackwell commissioning targeted for early 2027. None says the initial 50MW retrofit was completed or that the GPUs were delivered.
“The Blackwell systems will be deployed across existing data centers at IREN's Childress, Texas campus, with commissioning targeted for early 2027.”
