The surge reflects sharply accelerating capital investment into AI physical infrastructure, with hyperscalers repeatedly increasing capex plans. EMs are standout beneficiaries because significant portions of AI physical infrastructure are sourced from EM companies, especially Asia-based enterprises like TSMC. The AI boom is engendering structural changes in the memory market that should support higher and more consistent profitability. Three key developments are changing industry dynamics: growing demand for customized, high-value memory products like HBM; the need to surmount the memory wall for AI workloads; and increasing constraints on memory manufacturing capacity as more capacity is allocated to HBM production. The energy demands of AI data centers are staggering, with AI-specific servers using 53-76 terawatt-hours in 2024. This puts renewed attention on nuclear power advantages, which is both scalable enough to meet huge AI data center power requirements and carbon-emission free. Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet have announced plans to invest in nuclear energy, driving demand for uranium. | 688188 CH KAP LI 000660 KS 005930 KS |
