GoKawiilAmazon triples Nvidia GPU order to 2 million chips for AWS data centers
Amazon and Nvidia expanded their partnership, with Amazon agreeing to add 2 million more Nvidia GPUs—including Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, and Rubin Ultra chips—to AWS data centers by 2027-2028. This comes just five months after a prior deal for over 1 million GPUs, with Nvidia citing demand that 'exceeded expectations.' The deal also extends to broader integration of Nvidia's networking hardware, models, CPUs, and robotics platforms into AWS infrastructure.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The scale and speed of this expansion signal that AI infrastructure demand is accelerating faster than even major cloud providers anticipated, reinforcing Nvidia's dominant position in the AI hardware supply chain. Notably, Amazon is deepening this reliance on Nvidia even as it builds its own competing chips like Trainium, suggesting that in-house alternatives aren't yet sufficient to meet the surge in AI workloads from startups, enterprises, and governments.
- Amazon will add 2 million Nvidia GPUs to AWS data centers by 2027-2028, tripling a prior order.
- The deal includes broader integration of Nvidia's networking hardware, CPUs, and software beyond just chips.
- Despite developing its own Trainium AI chips, Amazon continues to deepen its dependence on Nvidia hardware.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Graphics Card — While AWS stacks up millions of Blackwell-class GPUs for AI data centers, you can put Nvidia's latest architecture in your own tower. The RTX 5070 brings DLSS-boosted gaming and handy local AI acceleration for creative and machine learning tinkering. It's the consumer-side echo of the chips powering the cloud buildout.
