Capex Flow Map

Two-stage Sankey of AI-attributable hyperscaler capex routed through infrastructure layers to specific suppliers. The sensitivity panel below lets you stress-test the layer-mix assumption live, useful when an analyst pushes back on the default baseline. Every number is a modeled estimate: see Methodology for the math and assumptions.

Stress-test the model. Adjust how much of each hyperscaler dollar lands in each infrastructure layer; the Sankey and supplier table re-rank instantly. Values normalize to 100.0% so the underlying flows stay mass-conserving.

What this is not

It is not a revenue model. Hyperscaler capex is the spend; supplier revenue depends on shipment timing, mix, customer concentration, and competitive substitution. The flow map gives an upper-bound proxy for the addressable dollar base.

Internal accelerators are partially excluded. Google TPU is captured via AVGO (designer); Amazon Trainium and Microsoft MAIA are not in the supplier roster, so the "sum of shares" for AMZN and MSFT compute_silicon intentionally is <100%: the residual stays internal.

HBM is partial. Micron is the only HBM name in scope; SK Hynix and Samsung dominate. The shown $B for memory understates industry-wide HBM TAM by ~3×.
