Microsoft's refusal to renew its Oracle infrastructure deal exposes the economics of AI compute: older hardware loses value fast as model training demands shift to the latest silicon. Cloud providers can no longer absorb stranded assets from previous chip cycles, forcing Oracle and other infrastructure players to accept rapid depreciation or exit the GPU rental market. Nvidia controls not just chip design but hardware lifecycle planning across the cloud industry.
