""cloud data center spending is expected to increase by 87% between 2025 and 2030 and this will drive a 53% higher semiconductor market by 2029 with an estimated 16% CAGR compared to 9% without the current AI buildout.""

"But I also know that building a GW-level AI computing center is not about building a perfect building that is in place and ultimate, but building a set of 'removable blocks'."

"With at least $670 billion to be spent by Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Google this year alone, the data center buildout is bigger than the railroad expansion of the 1850s, or putting astronauts on the moon in the 1960s."

"The core of this voluntary agreement, in the name of 'protecting residential electricity prices', is only one: new energy consumption of AI data centers must be borne by the companies themselves—building their own power plants, directly purchasing green electricity, and independent networking, absolutely not allowing the electricity costs of the soaring computing power to be passed on to the bills of ordinary families."

"Nvidia gave a forecast for revenue of $78 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (excluding revenue from data center computing business in China), plus or minus 2%, which is higher than the $72.6 billion generally expected by Wall Street analysts."
