Yes. NVIDIA's customers are mostly the cloud providers buying tens of thousands of machines each. The latest 8xH100 pods cost almost $400,000 so no one but Facebook and a few other tech giants can afford to buy tons of them without having customers lined up and ready to rent them.
If you look at AWS's reserve pricing, a one year contract costs more than the hardware would if you bought it up front. The on-demand pricing is even crazier, if you're lucky enough to find some capacity. NVIDIA's customers are absolutely printing money, it's their customers' customers that are paying for it.
- iknownthing 2y agoSure but those are just middle-men. What about the cloud providers customers? are they making a profit? Seems like a game of hot potato.
