Google plans $15B Malaysia data centers by 2028; Microsoft carries $80B+ obligations
YvesMulkers · x · 2026-11-08
Industry newsletter 7wData highlights that Google plans to invest $15B in Malaysia data centers by 2028, expanding its Southeast Asia compute footprint. In the same week, Microsoft — after ending its Oracle deal — carries $80B+ in obligations elsewhere, a stark contrast in AI infrastructure spending between the two giants.
The post itself is promotional content for 7wData's paid newsletters (AI Beat and Ins7ghts, 48k+ combined subscribers), but the two data-center investment facts carry real signal.
