Amazon is buying billions in Nvidia AI systems it can't yet turn on

Amazon is purchasing billions in Nvidia AI systems and racks, staging some in warehouses because data centers currently lack the necessary power to operate them. These power constraints highlight significant infrastructure challenges facing tech expansion. This situation potentially impacts AI growth and financial strategies as AWS manages the gap between hardware acquisition and power availability. The company continues to order hardware early despite the current inability to turn on these systems due to energy limitations.
