What changes the reading

  • The registry contains a broad Rockdale name and two numbered Rockdale names with overlapping parties. It does not publish parcel or building boundaries for those certifications, so campus capacity is not divided among them here.[1][2][3]
  • The developed site power figure covers mining and data center leasing together. It is not the amount delivered to artificial intelligence customers and should not be added to the contracted customer loads.[2][3]
  • Riot says the first AMD deployment is commissioned and online while the next deployment is under construction. The much larger frontier laboratory lease remains on a later phased delivery schedule.[3]
  • The company filing does not name the frontier laboratory. This profile does not turn outside attribution into a filed customer identity.[3]

Still not public

  • The physical boundary of each Rockdale certification is not public.
  • The current split between mining and other computing is not public.
  • Current measured demand and curtailment history are not public.
  • The frontier laboratory is not named in the company filing.
  • Cooling design and measured water use for the new customer space are not public.

The registry entry for this facility comes from the Texas Comptroller's certified list of data centers holding a sales tax exemption. Owner, occupant and operator are roles in that filing rather than descriptions of who runs the building.
