As a follow up to our cheat sheet summarizing the cost structure of a 1GW datacenter, we estimate today on a single slide WFE required to produce semiconductors for a 1 GW datacenter, with our usual important caveat: WFE spending is driven by the growth of production capacity. In other words, one spends once on WFE to build a 1GW datacenter many times over.
Lux will use MI350 silicon, a result that should create a modest boost for AMD's server compute/GPU revenues in the early 2026 time frame. Discovery will be built around the MI430, a variant of AMD's MI400 processors tuned for HPC. The biggest surprise here (in our view) is Discovery's delivery isn

We kicked off the 5th annual BCG × NSR Gen-AI Big Idea Series this month. We will host a slate of exceptional speakers through Feb-26 (full line-up on website). Our first session, a conversation with Mark Wade, CEO of Ayar Labs, went deep on optical I/O: progress in bringing optical I/O to market, the roadblocks to scaling co-packaged optics, and how optical interconnects could redefine the architecture and economics of datacentres. Please see the link below for our takes.

OpenAI announced a series of major contracts and partnerships in recent weeks, suggesting ambitions to deploy anywhere between 10 and 30GW of compute, with rich information about potential vendor positioning. We investigate in this research what can be inferred from these contracts and partnerships, and draw implications for the main names we cover, involved in the supply chain: Nvidia, Broadcom, AMD, TSMC, Micron, and semicap manufacturers.
TSLA, Samsung, TSMC: Tesla AI5 production to be split between Samsung, TSMCView: Elon Musk during TSLA's earnings call indicated that Samsung and TSMC will now share production of the AI5 chip. TSMC had previously been identified as the supplier of AI5 silicon.We can visualize a setup where AI5 pro
