A leaked memo (Meta stock rose ~7% on it) shows growth from 7 GW in 2026 to 14 GW in 2027 at roughly $145B annual capex, with the in-house "Iris" inference chip clearing testing and entering mass production this September (Reuters via U.S. News). Long-term memory and materials deals with Samsung, SanDisk, and Sumitomo back it up. The read: hyperscalers are hedging Nvidia dependence with custom silicon and locking up memory and power, which are the actual binding constraints now.
