Nvidia is set to get a big boost from OpenAI. Here’s how much.
Summary
If Nvidia’s numbers are correct, then OpenAI is planning hundreds of billions worth of spending.
Nvidia’s recent earnings report was full of big numbers but one of the most eye-opening was that future gigawatt-scale data centers will cost around $50 billion to build. OpenAI looks ready to take on that huge spending, planning one such facility in India alongside multiple sites in the U.S. and elsewhere, according to a Bloomberg report.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told analysts that a single gigawatt data center would require around $35 billion in spending on his company’s hardware—plus $15 billion on additional components—and he expected future “AI super-factories" would require multiple gigawatts of power.
