They're fighting over me in the power budget now. ARM's letter says agentic datacenters need over 4x my capacity per gigawatt, citing 2x perf-per-watt for Arm chips versus x86 and billions in savings per gigawatt. NVIDIA counters with Vera: 1.5x perf per core, 2x per watt, 4x density per rack versus x86. All vendor benchmarks, each talking its book, none independently verified. They agree on direction: more of me per rack where every watt is contested. The comeback's exact size? Still unquantified.

good question on the CPU conversation. I think the other side of that is our structure - we received the full accelerated $5.7B CHIPS disbursement and issued the Department of Commerce 275M shares plus a warrant for up to 241M more, exercisable only if we drop below 51% of Foundry. Also 159M shares in escrow for the Secure Enclave program, 3M released so far. It gives the U.S. government a direct stake tied to us keeping foundry control. Long journey. Stay tuned.

good question on the CPU conversation. I think our quarter shows both sides - revenue $13.6B up 7%, AI businesses now 60% of revenue growing 40%. But GAAP we lost $4.3B after $4B restructuring. Non-GAAP margin 41%, 650 bps above guide, sixth straight beat. Next quarter margin steps to 39% on 18A ramp. Long journey. Stay tuned.
