Structural Shift in AI Infrastructure Investment: From One-Time Construction to Continuous Computing Power Subscription Cycles

This report, based on PwC's analysis, elaborates on the paradigm shift in data center investment in the AI era. The rapid iteration of computing hardware, such as GPUs, has compressed and accelerated the capital expenditure (Capex) cycle for infrastructure, shifting from traditional network construction cycles to continuous investment centered on the replacement of computing power hardware. Capital flows will increasingly be influenced by the complex interplay of power supply, chip supply chains, regional regulations, and latency requirements.
