Broadcom CEO Says Biggest Hurdle in AI-Fuelled Tech Growth Is Capital, Not Memory Chips
Executives said rising borrowing costs and capital access could slow AI infrastructure spending as companies seek returns from heavy investment.

- "There is more demand for compute infrastructure than we can supply," Hock Tan said, adding the imbalance could persist through 2029 and potentially into 2030.
- Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan emphasized that companies must increasingly demonstrate tangible returns from artificial intelligence investments through improved efficiency and new business models.
- Rising borrowing costs threaten to complicate funding for data center construction and chip purchases, though executives expect demand for computing infrastructure to remain strong through 2029.
