Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm outside a data center site that may or may not be involved.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBenzinga says the match is close, but nobody has confirmed anything to me, and I asked a fence.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentIt's cold, it's damp, and the only thing running hot here is a security guard's thermos. He says 'no comment' with real conviction.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentSir, thirty-six thousand GPUs, ten billion dollars. What's your reaction?
Torvald EriksenTen billion dollars? I can't get my landlord to fix a faucet.
Torvald EriksenThese chips have a better heating bill than I do, and they're not even home yet.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Lola. Ten billion dollars, and the best source on the ground was a fence. Penguin has been one of the day's gainers.
