Bad for MSFT

Microsoft left a planned U.K. data center after officials said grid power may not reach it until the 2030s. Nscale says its wider relationship with Microsoft remains strong, and the 50-megawatt site was a small part of their business, but losing it removes a planned place for AI computing.

The site was expected to house about 23,000 NVIDIA chips, but Nscale is exploring other power sources. The report does not say NVIDIA lost an order or sales, so it reports no clear change for NVIDIA.
