ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Core Research team is on SemiAnalysis Weekly this week. Jordan Nanos, Nick Doyle, Nigel Chiang, and Konrad Wang walk through the biggest bottlenecks in AI infrastructure: TSMC capacity constraints, PCB and substrate shortages, memory cycle dynamics, modular data center construction, and behind-the-meter power. The team also gets into how Claude Code is transforming their day-to-day research, what enterprise AI adoption actually looks like today, and the signals they're watching for when the cycle turns.

More than 300 towns, cities, and counties have voted to pause data centers in the past 18 months. Maya Barkin (@mayabarkin) and Reyk Knühtsen (@robotknower) from the SemiAnalysis Data Center, Energy, and Industrials team join Jordan Nanos (@jordannanos) to explain what a moratorium actually is, how…
NVIDIA previewed Rubin Ultra at 1TB of HBM per package. The part that ships will carry 192GB.
Myron Xie and Jordan Nanos get into how the design fell that far, why the reason is supply and not performance, and why shipping less memory per chip might be the right call anyway.
For the first time in…
