Dell just reported a massive 757% jump in its AI-server revenue, while AI software startup Anthropic raised money at a staggering $965 billion valuation, proving the artificial intelligence boom is accelerating.

## Idea

The massive valuation of AI software companies like Anthropic shows that the industry expects enormous growth, but all of that software needs physical hardware to run on. Dell's staggering earnings beat confirms that data centers and tech giants are pouring billions into AI servers and computing power. As long as AI software companies keep growing, they will need to buy hardware from companies like Dell and major chipmakers like Nvidia. Buying the underlying hardware and infrastructure companies is a solid way to profit from the broader AI gold rush.
