View summary- Akamai–Anthropic deal: 💰 $11.6bn 7-year accelerating CPU agreement announced 24 Sep (potential +$9bn expansion). Anthropic to use Akamai’s distributed AI infra & software for growing CPU workloads. 
🤖 Vera CPUs expected: Nvidia previously flagged Akamai’s Vera deployment plans. Vera targets agentic workloads (code, orchestration, data processing) with high-bandwidth LPDDR5X. 
• Positive read-throughs:
– Server CPU & DRAM demand (agentic AI needs more compute + memory)
– eSSD / NAND (context, vector DB, KV-cache growth; better cost/power vs DRAM/HDD)
– ABF substrates
– Lenovo (major server OEM for Akamai)
• Our Server CPU TAM: 2030 server CPU TAM of $215bn 
• Stocks & Positive Implications :
– CPU: NVDA, AMD, INTC
– Memory: SK Hynix, Micron (DRAM/HBM); Samsung, SK Hynix, MU + SanDisk (NAND)
– Advanced packaging: ASE (Buy), TSMC (Hold), Amkor
– OEM: Lenovo (Buy) #anthropic# #NVDA# #CPU# #DRAM#
