Why do you think cost would expand linearly with revenue? That's typically not how technology companies work. Compute gets cheaper over time and R&D expenses eventually cap out.

We're in the "add billions in dollars of datacenters" and "spin up nuclear power plants" level of infrastructure needed for their growth, so if anything, I might be underestimating the costs if they grow as much as Sam claims they can.

Didn't Sam ask TSMC to spend $7 trillion on new fabs? By comparison, $18 billion/yr spend seems very small.
