What happened

Why it matters

Nvidia and IREN will deploy up to 5 gigawatts of the chip maker's DSX-branded infrastructure designs intended to power artificial intelligence workloads throughout the Australian firm's data center facilities across the world.

Common ground

IREN will issue Nvidia a five-year right to purchase up to 30 million shares of its ordinary stock at an exercise price of $70 per share, the company said in an announcement.
