Episode description
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.
