Nvidia, AMD, Google, and Meta team up on global blueprint for data center design

What happened: Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Google (GOOG, GOOGL), and Meta (META) are establishing an open specification for data center design, the Open Data Center Specification v0.7. Why it matters: Nvidia says the specifications give builders predefined templates, which could bring data centers online faster and let Nvidia sell more chips, systems, and networking components. Data centers face pushback, with New York and Texas halting projects. Coverage: 4 outlets in 24h
