$NVDA CFO: AI factory buildouts have doubled YoY with more coming "The pace and scale of AI factory buildouts are accelerating, with nearly 100 NVIDIA-powered AI factories in flight this quarter. This represents a 2X increase compared to the same period last year. The average
Nvidia's CFO reported a strong transition of AI workloads to inference, driving substantial revenue growth. The company highlighted that AI factory buildouts have doubled year-over-year, with nearly 100 Nvidia-powered AI factories currently underway this quarter. Major hyperscalers are deploying approximately 1,000 NVL72 racks per week, which equates to 72,000 Blackwell GPUs weekly, a rate that is increasing and potentially two to three times higher than previous supply chain estimates. This deployment pace suggests an annual run rate of around 4 million GPUs. The company also noted that reasoning AI agents are demanding significantly more compute power, and sovereign AI is emerging as a new growth area.
