AI compute fundamentals strong, semis benefit.
AI compute fundamentals remain strong: GPU rental rates for both new and old chips are firming, cloud providers are raising long-term prices, and the compute layer is poised to capture value as efficiency trends shift demand away from frontier models. Memory demand is also surging due to longer contexts, multimodal data, and enterprise AI adoption, supporting the semiconductor supply chain.
