0. Bottom line first

Alphabet has already reached fourth place by market capitalization and has passed Amazon since I wrote the earlier note. The “Google AI data-center competitiveness and No. 1 market-cap scenario” remains worth tracking.

1. Earlier thesis and current position

The source revisits the earlier note, Google’s AI data-center competitiveness and Alphabet’s No. 1 market-cap scenario, and records that Alphabet’s ranking has improved since then.

Interpretation: The important point is direction, not just the number. The author had been watching Alphabet’s potential re-rating based on TPU and Google AI data-center competitiveness, and this update records that the scenario is partly showing up in market-cap ranking.

2. Market-cap comparison at the time

Official fact: The figures in the source are Nvidia KRW 5,837 trillion, Microsoft KRW 5,262 trillion, Apple KRW 4,959 trillion, and Alphabet KRW 3,915 trillion.
