AI server demand surges on hyperscale and inference workloads, lifting CSP rack-scale buildout amid grid constraints.

Key Highlights

  • Demand: AI server growth sustains; inference overtakes training.
  • CSP Capex: Top-5 hyperscalers ramp rack-scale procurement.
  • Rack Power: Liquid cooling and TDP rise lift per-rack wattage.
  • ASIC Rise: Google and Amazon ASIC power tops NVIDIA solutions.
  • Build Risk: Grid limits and politics challenge data center rollout.
