Armenia is emerging as an unexpected AI-infrastructure hub as Firebird builds a large NVIDIA-powered computing campus in Hrazdan, with plans for roughly 300 megawatts of capacity and more than 70,000 advanced NVIDIA chips by the end of 2027.

The project illustrates how the global AI infrastructure race is spreading beyond established U.S., Western European and East Asian data-center markets. Bloomberg reported this week that Firebird began operations in Hrazdan in August and expects the campus to become one of the largest computing clusters in the region.

300 MW and more than 70,000 NVIDIA chips

According to Bloomberg reporting summarized by regional outlets, the Hrazdan facility is expected to scale toward 300 MW and host more than 70,000 advanced NVIDIA processors by the end of next year. About one-fifth of its computing capacity is planned for Armenian research, government and startups, while the remainder is intended for international customers.

AI expansion becomes an electricity story

A 300 MW compute campus is also a major electricity project. At full scale, infrastructure of that size requires utility-grade substations, transmission capacity, cooling systems and redundant power architecture alongside the GPUs themselves.

That puts the Armenia buildout in the same infrastructure trend BitcoinVersus.tech has tracked through ABB’s 800 VDC AI data-center power system and Supermicro’s NVIDIA Vera Rubin racks: compute growth is increasingly constrained by how quickly operators can deliver electricity, cooling and networking.

A regional computing hub

Firebird says the complex could become the region’s largest computing cluster. Perplexity AI has been identified among the international companies expected to use capacity. The project also gives Armenia a larger position in the global semiconductor and AI supply chain as countries compete to secure access to advanced accelerators.
