Nvidia, Amazon Expand AWS Chip Deal by 2 Million GPUs as 2028 Growth View Tops 70%

3 articles · Updated · CNN · Aug 26

Summary

  • 2 million additional Nvidia GPUs will be deployed across Amazon Web Services data centers in 2027 and 2028, expanding a March plan for AWS to use 1 million chips.
  • 70% fiscal 2028 income growth projected by Nvidia's CFO — versus analysts' 45% estimate — helped lift the stock more than 4% after hours after an initial dip.
  • 96.2 billion in quarterly revenue, up 106% year over year, was driven by data-center sales of $89 billion, up 117%, reinforcing Nvidia's role as a bellwether for AI spending.
  • That spending boom still faces scrutiny because hyperscalers are pouring billions into AI infrastructure while Nvidia also backs financing arrangements that critics say could inflate demand artificially.
