GoKawiilChipmaker Nvidia has reported another huge jump in sales as the global push to build artificial intelligence (AI) systems continues at a rapid pace.
The company said on Wednesday it brought in $96bn (£71bn) in revenue during the second quarter, more than double from a year ago. And it expects revenue of $108bn next quarter.
"AI has reached its inflection point," CEO Jensen Huang said in prepared remarks, describing the infrastructure buildout as going "at full steam."
The revenue figures beat Wall Street's expectations, leading Nvidia shares to rise about 4% in after hours trading.
The company's data centre division alone generated $89bn last quarter, up 117% from a year ago, underscoring just how much of the industry now depends on Nvidia's hardware.
