The strong sequential growth was led by record data center revenue, primarily helped by accelerated computing as generative AI drove high demand for Nvidia’s products. For Q2, Nvidia is projecting revenues of $11B, up 68% QoQ, with a 400 bp increase in gross margins as AI takes center stage. The AI-hype has driven some stocks valuations to extreme levels.

According to a FT article, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are buying up thousands of the high-performance Nvidia chips

These chips are crucial for building artificial intelligence software, joining a global AI arms race that is squeezing the supply of Silicon Valley’s hottest commodity. The Gulf powerhouses have publicly stated their goal of becoming leaders in AI as they pursue ambitious plans to turbocharge their economies. But the push has also raised concerns about potential misuse of the technology by the oil-rich states’ autocratic leaders. According to people familiar with the moves, Saudi Arabia has bought at least 3,000 of Nvidia’s H100 chips — a $40,000 processor described by Nvidia chief Jensen Huang as “the world’s first computer [chip] designed for generative AI” — via the public research institution King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust).
