Nvidia and Amazon are launching a new phase of the AI race: a million chips show where hundreds of billions are headed

When the biggest players in the tech market stop talking about vision and start reserving physical computing capacity years in advance, the nature of the entire industry changes. Nvidia will supply Amazon’s cloud division with up to 1 million GPU chips by the end of 2027, with deliveries set to begin as early as this year. At first glance, this is just another major corporate deal in AI. In reality, however, this news reveals something more significant.

Nvidia and Amazon are launching a new phase of the AI race: a million chips show where hundreds of billions are headed

A deal that goes beyond a simple chip purchase

 

Nvidia will sell one million GPU chips to AWS by the end of 2027, and the contract will not begin in the distant future, but as early as 2026. At the same time, it’s not just about the GPUs themselves, as the deal also includes other elements from Nvidia’s portfolio, including Spectrum networking chips, ConnectX technology, and the new Groq chips, which Nvidia unveiled this week as part of a broader strategy for mainstream AI operations.[1]

 

That is precisely where the real significance of this news lies. When AWS buys not only accelerators but also the networking layer and the layer for processing AI requests, it creates more than just a larger volume of cloud capacity. An architecture is being created to support the mass deployment of AI on a large scale, and from an investment perspective, this is far more important than the size of the order itself.

 

The market is shifting from training to routine AI operations

 

According to Reuters, Nvidia raised its estimate of the total market opportunity for its Blackwell and Rubin AI chips to at least $1 trillion by 2027 at the GTC conference, which is significantly higher than the previous estimate of $500 billion by 2026. At the same time, the company clearly communicated that the next phase of growth will be driven by inference, the process in which models answer questions in real time, generate outputs, and perform tasks for end users. This is also key for Amazon. Training large models was the first chapter of the AI boom, but the truly massive market will emerge only when these systems begin to be used daily by hundreds of thousands of companies and hundreds of millions of users. Nvidia further plans to split inference into a prefill phase, to be handled by Vera Rubin chips, and a decode phase, where Groq chips will play a role, indicating an increasingly specialized and multi-layered architecture for AI infrastructure.[2]

 

Amazon is not relying solely on Nvidia, but on a hybrid infrastructure

 

Importantly, with this agreement, Amazon is not capitulating to Nvidia’s dominance but rather expanding its own strategy. AWS plans to integrate Nvidia’s NVLink Fusion technology into the upcoming Trainium4 chip, with the goal of building larger AI servers capable of communicating faster and scaling more efficiently when training large-scale models. Amazon has also introduced new servers built on Trainium3, with each server containing 144 chips, offering more than four times the computing power of the previous generation while consuming 40% less energy.[3]

 

Nvidia itself confirmed in its blog that AWS is designing Trainium4 to integrate with NVLink and the MGX architecture, marking the first phase of a multi-generation collaboration between the two companies. From a market perspective, this means that Amazon won’t be putting all its eggs in one basket. It will combine its own silicon where economics and control over the platform make sense, while simultaneously purchasing the most powerful solutions from Nvidia where speed of deployment and technological advantage are key.

 

The biggest question is no longer whether demand is strong, but who will profit the most from it

 

In its March report, Reuters also highlighted one detail that is extremely important from an investment perspective. AWS has been building its own network architecture in its data centers for years, yet it will collaborate with Nvidia on deploying ConnectX and Spectrum X technologies for its most critical AI workloads. In other words, Nvidia is no longer just selling chips. It is gradually pushing deeper into the infrastructure layer of data centers, where hyperscalers have so far sought to maintain more control.1

This topic is therefore crucial for the stock market for two reasons. The first is confirmation that demand for AI computing capacity remains extremely strong even after months of doubts about the sustainability of AI valuations. The second is that further growth will increasingly hinge on margins, return on capital employed, and which companies can turn the AI boom into stable cash flow, not just revenue growth and another round of massive investments.

ABB Gains Momentum with AI Support: Strong Quarter, Higher Outlook, and Stock Growth

ABB has shown that the story of artificial intelligence is no longer limited to chips, software, and the biggest names in American tech. The Swiss group’s results suggest that the next phase of this trend is increasingly shifting toward industry, energy, and infrastructure, segments that are essential to the entire digital world but often remain outside the main focus of investors. That is precisely why ABB’s latest quarterly results deserve more than just a quick glance at the headline numbers, as they can reveal a great deal about where new growth is actually emerging today.
