The deals lock in purchase volumes rather than fixed prices, leaving buyers exposed to further price increases. The dynamic is driven by US export controls restricting China's access to high-end AI accelerators, pushing operators to secure the components they can still freely buy. Intel Xeon lead times have stretched to around six months, and the broader AI data centre build-out has created shortages across CPUs, memory, and networking gear alike. AMD projects the server CPU market will exceed $120 billion by 2030. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
