Intel and Broadcom CEOs warn that access to capital could become the biggest constraint on the AI boom, even as demand for computing infrastructure outpaces supply. Rising borrowing costs and higher bond yields may make financing data centers and chip production more expensive, challenging the economics of long-term AI investments. While supply bottlenecks like memory and wafer shortages may ease by 2028-2029, sustaining AI growth depends on how quickly businesses adopt AI and generate returns. Both executives remain optimistic about near-term demand but cautious about long-term ROI and adoption rates.
