Our Fairwater data center in Wisconsin came online earlier this month, six weeks ahead of schedule, allowing us to recognize revenue earlier.

We are moving aggressively to add capacity aligned to the demand signals we see, and we have announced new data center investments across four continents. We also continue to modernize our fleet with our first-party innovation alongside the latest from NVIDIA and AMD. Across our fleet, millions of servers are powered by our custom networking, security, and virtualization silicon, including Azure Boost, as well as our first-party CPUs and accelerators. Our Maya 200 AI accelerator, with over 30% improved tokens per dollar compared to the latest silicon in our fleet, is now live in our Iowa and Arizona data centers. Our Cobalt server CPU is deployed in nearly half of our data center regions running workloads at scale for customers like Databricks, Siemens, and Snowflake. As our largest custo
