The artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom is running into a physical limit that money alone can't solve: electricity. Hyperscalers can spend hundreds of billions of dollars on servers, but those servers still need power, and new data-center capacity can take years to connect to the grid. That is changing the economics of AI computing. The scarce resource is increasingly not just chips or capital, but energized megawatts.
That creates an opening for Nvidia (NVDA), whose next-generation Vera Rubin platform is designed to squeeze more computing — and more revenue — from every watt. Let's take a closer look.
