The completed acquisition concentrated two complementary layers of frontier AI infrastructure under one supplier and strengthened competitive acceleration in data-centre compute. The DoomBench relevance is partly inferential and many claimed benefits were forward-looking, so confidence and magnitude remain conservative.
