Ep. 029 - Modular Data Centers Cut Build Time to 12 Months (Datacenter)
Jordan NanosEric WenNigel ChiangNico Bontigui
Time to power, rather than cost, is driving modular adoption as compute deals reach $40M/MW and some Anthropic configurations exceed $100 million per megawatt.Factory parallelization cuts fit-out from up to nine months to three, shortening builds from 18–24 months to as little as 12; Level 5 commissioning can take 3–8 months, while module lead times reach 18 months.
Ep. 007 - The 3 Choke Points Killing the AI Boom (Core Research) | Nick Doyle, Nigel Chiang, Konrad Wang, Jordan Nanos
Jordan NanosNick DoyleNigel ChiangKonrad Wang
AI infrastructure is constrained from TSMC N3, sold out through 2027, to co-packaged-optics lasers, 30-to-40-layer PCBs, CCL, and even drill bits, redirecting market attention toward shortage suppliers.Modular data centers and gas-power EPCs may gain pricing power by solving the labor bottleneck, while memory prepayments could overturn the usual LTA-top signal; sustained hyperscaler spending and free-cash-flow returns remain the key validation.
