Claim

Compute swung into surplus as SoftBank launched SB Neo to rent US capacity toward 10 gigawatts by 2030 and Meta spun up a cloud business to resell its excess, lifting its shares 9% and squeezing neocloud rivals, even as a global memory shortage had Apple courting blacklisted Chinese makers.

Reported metric: 10 GW by 2030
