Oct 15 (Reuters) - British artificial intelligence group

Nscale has signed an expanded agreement with Microsoft ( MSFT )

to deploy around 200,000 Nvidia AI chips across its

data centers in Europe and the United States, it said on

Wednesday.

While Nscale did not disclose the financial terms of the

agreement, the Financial Times, based on a comparable contract,

reported that the deal could bring in up to $14 billion in

revenue for the start-up.

The deal will be executed in collaboration with Dell

Technologies ( DELL ), Nscale said.

Microsoft ( MSFT ) did not immediately respond to a Reuters

request for comment.

Nscale will begin supplying Nvidia ( NVDA ) graphics processing

units to Microsoft ( MSFT ) via its data centers in Texas and Portugal

starting next year. The company also plans to expand its Texas

operations over the coming years.

The agreement builds on earlier plans announced by

Nscale. It said its joint venture with Norway's Aker ( AKAAF )

has signed a multi-year deal to supply Microsoft ( MSFT ) with around

52,000 Nvidia GPUs from its hyperscale AI campus in Narvik,

Norway.

The start-up in September

raised $1.1 billion

from investors, including Aker ( AKAAF ) and Finland's Nokia

, to help accelerate its data centre buildout.
