Bloomberg estimates that servers make up at least half the cost of building a 1GW AI data center in Texas.

Installing servers and liquid cooling at such a site alone costs about $1.2 billion, according to the estimate. DRAM prices are more than five times last year's level.

Developers face a choice on power, the report says. They either pay $584,000 per megawatt for grid-connected land or build their own gas generation, a cost that has tripled in recent years.
