The combined capital expenditure of nearly $600 billion by Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft signals a new phase in global compute competition. AI chips and advanced process technologies are at the forefront of investment, reflecting surging demand for high-performance computing. Their massive investments in data centers and cloud platforms will directly stimulate upstream semiconductor equipment and materials supply chains.
