## Quote — verbatim

> There was like 8.2 million data centers 10 years ago, which reduced to 7.5 \[million\] now, and increasingly concentration happening... but that's reversing. We're seeing smaller data centers now that are popping up everywhere with GPUs on them. So I don't think hyperscalers are going to be the winner-take-all in this market.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On whether cloud giants will eventually absorb GPU supply; he credits Nvidia's self-interest in fragmenting distribution.
