The Financial Times reports that Tencent has agreed to lease around 100,000 chips from Oracle in a deal worth roughly $7 billion. The arrangement, picked up by Yahoo Finance and Investing.com, would give the Chinese tech giant access to large-scale computing capacity through Oracle's infrastructure, and it is drawing attention amid tight global supply and export controls on advanced chips.
