Dec 23, 2025
Alphabet has agreed to acquire Intersect, a data center and energy infrastructure developer, for $4.75 billion in cash plus assumed debt. The deal will help Google expand data center power generation capacity and is expected to close in the first half of 2026.

Alphabet has agreed to acquire Intersect, a data center and energy infrastructure company, for $4.75 billion in cash plus the assumption of debt, announced in a press release. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2026, pending customary conditions.

The deal includes Intersect’s team and multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in development or under construction. Intersect will continue to operate independently under its existing brand, led by CEO Sheldon Kimber, while partnering closely with Google’s technical infrastructure division on new and ongoing projects.

Intersect’s current operating assets in Texas and its operating and in-development assets in California are excluded from the transaction and will remain with existing investors, including TPG Rise Climate, Climate Adaptive Infrastructure, and Greenbelt Capital Partners. Intersect will continue to manage those assets as an independent company.

According to Alphabet, the acquisition will expand data center and energy generation capacity more quickly and support its U.S. data center investments. The companies’ first co-located data center and power facility, located in Haskell County, Texas, is already under construction.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
