Analysts say hyperscalers are stockpiling uninstalled AI chips for lack of data centers and power
According to an analysis by analyst Ed Zitron cited by Xataka, Nvidia and Broadcom have sold more than 560 billion dollars in AI chips and equipment since early 2023, but half of it may be uninstalled or without power. Bloomberg reported that Microsoft had about 12 GW of total capacity, of which only about two correspond to AI chips, and Satya Nadella said in November 2025 that they had chips they could not plug in. A Business Insider investigation pointed in the same direction for Amazon.
