Lisa Su: Datacenter power infrastructure becoming critical constraint; AMD and customers working closely on power visibility, with significantly more power coming online in 2027
Lisa Su· AMD· AI· 2026-05-06· about AMD (AMD)
“And we're also working very closely with our customers and our partners to ensure that we have good visibility to Data Center power. And there is much more power that's coming online in 2027.”
Why it matters
Power infrastructure is becoming a gating factor for AI datacenter deployments. AMD's acknowledgment that customers and suppliers are coordinating on power visibility suggests this is a real constraint being actively managed by hyperscalers.
Investment implication
Power distribution, cooling, and electrical infrastructure suppliers should expect accelerated capex cycles at hyperscaler datacenters. Renewable energy providers and grid modernization companies will see increased demand. Power management semiconductor suppliers will benefit from step-function increases in power delivery requirements.
