Blue Owl-led funds back a $2.4B, 9.0% fixed-rate GPU loan for IREN's Mackenzie campus. How it works, and why it costs more than IREN's Microsoft loan.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NVIDIA have announced a major expansion of their cloud infrastructure partnership, committing to deploy two million additional high-end NVIDIA GPUs across AWS global data centers in 2027 and 2028. The deployment expands on AWS's previous commitment from GTC 2026 to add one million GPUs starting in 2026, bringing total forward allocations across the multi-year cycle to three million units. The upcoming capacity will comprise NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, and Rubin
