KI-Boom stockt: Fast die Hälfte der für 2026 geplanten US-Rechenzentren ist verspätet (Der Standard)
|
|
|
Eigentlich sollten heuer in den USA neue KI-Rechenzentren mit einer Gesamtleistung von zwölf Gigawatt online gehen. Das Problem dabei: Gerade einmal ein Drittel davon ist derzeit überhaupt schon im Bau.

“The PMI survey data show the US economy buckling under the strain of rising prices and intensifying uncertainty, as the war in the Middle East exacerbates existing concerns regarding other policy decisions in recent months, notably with respect to tariffs," said Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence
