①
전력이 AI 확장의 제약이 되었다
2분기 지역 반대로만 $68B 데이터센터 프로젝트가 중단됐다. Nvidia는 재생에너지 확보에 $4.5B를 투자했다. Marvell의 2nm 광학 칩은 "전력 벽"을 명시적으로 해결한다. Huawei의 15,488칩 Atlas 클러스터는 광학 인터커넥트로 열을 관리한다. 사우디 HUMAIN 프로젝트는 250MW 설비에 $2.33B를 투자한다. 인프라가 자본이 아닌 병목이 되었다.
②
커스텀 칩이 Nvidia 독점을 대체하고 있다
Anthropic이 Broadcom의 최대 커스텀 칩 고객이 되어 추론 확장을 하고 있다. Crusoe는 수직통합 AI 인프라에 $3.9B를 조달했다. Huawei는 전역 판매를 중단하고(국내 수요 초과) 15,488칩 Atlas 클러스터로 120 EFLOPS를 달성한다. Nscale은 GPU 클라우드에 $35B IPO를 추진하고 있다. 구축이 Nvidia 구매에서 독점 스택 구축으로 전환되고 있다.

공급 부족이 자본 가용성을 초과할 것이다
HBM은 2027년까지 품절이고, Samsung도 2027년 250K 웨이퍼 생산(80% HBM4)으로는 부족하다. Nvidia는 2027년 판매량을 2배 할 수 있지만 공급업체가 따라가야 한다——못 따라간다. Marvell의 2nm 광학 인터커넥트(3.2Tbps)가 데이터센터 링크 병목을 해결하려 경쟁하고 있다. OpenAI의 $856B 계산 예산과 SoftBank의 $11B OpenAI 채권은 실리콘 공급을 가속할 수 없다. 자본은 흐르지만 실리콘은 흐르지 않는다.
