In the USA, AI data centers will need around 20 to 30 gigawatts (GW) of combined power by late 2027. 30 GW is about 5% of US average current power generation capacity and 2.5% of China’s. 30 GW would be around 25% of power generation capacity in Japan, 50% in France, and 90% in the …
Nvidia’s $100 billion commitment to OpenAI over a few years is one of several circular deals Nvidia is making. Upstream chip sales fuel downstream infrastructure bets, creating a self-reinforcing loop that has propelled Nvidia’s market cap to $4.6 trillion. Nvidia Q2 operating cash flow hit $15.4 billion and a growing $56.8 billion war chest. Projections …
Google and Microsoft have both gone over $100 billion in annual net income. The big technology companies are growing by as much as 20-25% each year. Their combined annual net income is already over $500 billion. By 2027, they will have combined net income over $700 billion and should reach over $1 trillion combined net …
Microsoft and Meta both beat earnings expectations by large amounts and the reason was because of AI helping their basic business.
