Speaker #3: This keeps us on track with our pace of an annual product cadence and continuous innovation across compute, networking, systems, and software. In late July, the US government began reviewing licenses for sales of H20 to China customers.

Colette Kress: This keeps us on track with our pace of an annual product cadence and continuous innovation across compute, networking, systems, and software. In late July, the US government began reviewing licenses for sales of H20 to China customers. While a select number of our China-based customers have received licenses over the past few weeks, we have not shipped any H20 based on those licenses. USG officials have expressed an expectation that the USG will receive 15% of the revenue generated from licensed H20 sales, but to date, the USG has not published a regulation codifying such requirement. We have not included H20 in our Q3 outlook as we continue to work through geopolitical issues. If geopolitical issues reside, we should ship $2 to $5 billion in H20 revenue in Q3. And if we add more orders, we can bill more.

Colette Kress: Our board of directors recently approved a $60 billion share repurchase authorization to add to our remaining $14.7 billion of authorization at the end of Q2. OK, let me turn it to the outlook for the third quarter. Total revenue is expected to be $54 billion, plus or minus 2%. This represents over $7 billion in sequential growth. Again, we do not assume any H20 shipments to China customers in our outlook. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 73.3%, 73.5% respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points. We continue to expect to exit the year with non-GAAP gross margins in the mid-70s. GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $5.9 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively. For the full year, we expect operating expenses to grow in the high 30s range year over year, up from our prior expectations of the mid-30s.

Speaker #3: Okay, let me turn it to the outlook for the third quarter. Total revenue is expected to be $54 billion, plus or minus 2%. This represents over $7 billion in sequential growth.

Speaker #3: Again, we do not assume any H20 shipments to China customers in our outlook. Gap and Non-GAAP Growth Margins are expected to be 73.3%, 73.5%, respectively.

Speaker #3: Plus or minus 50 basis points. We continue to expect to exit the year with Non-GAAP Growth Margins in the mid-70s. Gap and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses are expected to be approximately $5.9 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively.

Speaker #3: For the full year, we expect operating expenses to grow in the high 30s range year-over-year, up from our prior expectations of the mid-30s. We are accelerating investments in the business to address the magnitude of growth opportunities that lie ahead.

Colette Kress: We are accelerating investments in the business to address the magnitude of growth opportunities that lie ahead. GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expenses are expected to be an income of approximately $500 million, excluding gains and losses from non-marketable and public-held equity securities. GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be 16.5%, plus or minus 1%, excluding any discrete items. Further financial data are included in the CFO commentary and other information available on our website. In closing, let me highlight upcoming events for the financial community. We will be at the Goldman Sachs Technology Conference on September 8 in San Francisco. Our annual NDR will commence the first part of October. GTC Data Center begins on October 27, with Jensen's keynote scheduled for the 28th. We look forward to seeing you at these events.

Speaker #3: Our earnings call to discuss the results of our third quarter of fiscal 2026 is scheduled for November 19th. We will now open the call for questions.

Colette Kress: Our earnings call to discuss the results of our third quarter of fiscal 2026 is scheduled for November 19. We will now open the call for questions. Operator, would you please pull for questions? Thank you. At this time, I would like to remind everyone, in order to ask a question, press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. We'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. As a reminder, please limit yourself to one question. Thank you. Your first question comes from CJ News with Kanter Fitzgerald. Your line is open.

Speaker #3: Operator, would you please pull for questions?

Speaker #4: Thank you. At this time, I would like to remind everyone in order to ask a question, press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad.

Speaker #4: We'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. As a reminder, please limit yourself to one question. Thank you. Your first question comes from CJ Muse with Cantor Fitzgerald.

Speaker #4: Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Yeah, good afternoon. Thank you for taking the question. I guess with wafer-to-rack-out lead times of 12 months, you confirmed on the call today that Rubin is on track for ramping in the second half.

Jensen Huang: Yeah, good afternoon. Thank you for taking the question. I guess with wafer in to rack out lead times of 12 months, you confirmed on the call today that Rubin is on track for ramping the second half. And obviously, many of these investments are multi-year projects contingent upon power, cooling, et cetera. I was hoping perhaps you could take a high-level view and speak to your vision for growth into 2026. And as part of that, if you can kind of comment between networking data center, it would be very helpful. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks, CJ. At the highest level of growth drivers would be the evolution, the introduction, if you will, of reasoning agentic AI. You know, where chatbots used to be one shot, you give it a prompt and it would generate the answer.

Speaker #5: And obviously, many of these investments are multi-year projects contingent upon power, cooling, etc. I was hoping perhaps you could take a high-level view and speak to your vision for growth into 2026.

Speaker #5: And as part of that, if you can kind of comment between networking data center, it would be very helpful. Thank you.

Speaker #2: Yeah, thanks CJ. At the highest level of growth drivers would be the evolution, the introduction, if you will, of reasoning agentic AI. You know, where Chatbot used to be one-shot, you give it a prompt and it would generate the answer.

Speaker #2: Now the AI does research, it thinks, and does a plan, and it might use tools. And so it's called long thinking. The longer it thinks, oftentimes it produces better answers.

Jensen Huang: Now the AI does research, it thinks and does a plan, and it might use tools. And so it's called long thinking. And the longer it thinks, oftentimes it produces better answers. And the amount of computation necessary for one shot versus reasoning agentic AI models could be 100 times, 1,000 times, and potentially even more as the amount of research and basically reading and comprehension that it goes off to do. And so the amount of computation that has resulted in agentic AI has grown tremendously. And of course, the effectiveness has also grown tremendously. Because of agentic AI, the amount of hallucination has dropped significantly. You can now use it. You can now use tools and perform tasks. Enterprises have been opened up. As a result of agentic AI and vision language models, we now are seeing a breakthrough in physical AI, in robotics, autonomous systems.

Speaker #2: And the amount of computation necessary for one-shot versus reasoning agentic AI models could be a hundred times a thousand times. And you potentially even more as the amount of research and basically reading and comprehension that it goes off to do.

Speaker #2: And so the amount of computation that has resulted in agentic AI has grown tremendously. And of course, the effectiveness has also grown tremendously. Because of agentic AI, the amount of hallucination has dropped significantly.

Speaker #2: You can now use it; you can now use tools and perform tasks. Enterprises have been opened up. As a result of agentic AI and vision language models, we are now seeing a breakthrough in physical AI.

Speaker #2: In robotics, autonomous systems, so the last year, AI has made tremendous progress. And agentic systems, reasoning systems, is completely revolutionary. Now we built the Blackwell NVLink 72 system, a rack scale computing system for this moment.

Jensen Huang: So the last year, AI has made tremendous progress. And agentic systems, reasoning systems, is completely revolutionary. Now, we built the Blackwell MVLink 72 system, a rack-scale computing system for this moment. We've been working on it for several years. This last year, we transitioned from MVLink 8, which is a node-scale computing. Each node is a computer, to now MVLink 72, where each rack is a computer. That disaggregation of MVLink 72 into a rack-scale system was extremely hard to do. But the results are extraordinary. We're seeing orders of magnitude speed up and therefore energy efficiency and therefore cost effectiveness of token generation because of MVLink 72. And so over the next couple of years, you're going to, well, you asked about longer term.

Speaker #2: We've been working on it for several years. This last year, we transitioned from NVLink 8, which is a node-scale computing. Each node is a computer.

Speaker #2: To now NVLink 72, where each rack is a computer. That disaggregation of NVLink 72 into a rack-scale system was extremely hard to do.

Speaker #2: But the results are extraordinary. We're seeing orders of magnitude speed up and therefore energy efficiency, and therefore cost effectiveness, of token generation because of NVLink 72.

Speaker #2: And so, over the next couple of years, you're going to—well, you asked about longer term. Over the next five years, we're going to scale with Blackwell, with Rubin, and follow-ons to effectively scale into a three to four trillion dollar AI infrastructure opportunity.

Jensen Huang: Over the next five years, we're going to scale into with Blackwell, with Rubin, and follow-ons to scale into effectively a $3 to $4 trillion AI infrastructure opportunity. The last couple of years, you have seen that CapEx has grown in just the top four CSPs, has doubled and grown to about $600 billion. So we're in the beginning of this buildout. And the AI technology advances have really enabled AI to be able to adopt and solve problems to many different industries.

Speaker #2: In the last couple of years, you have seen that CapEx has grown in just the top four CSPs. It has doubled and grown to about $600 billion.

Speaker #2: We're in the beginning of this buildout, and the advances in AI technology have really enabled AI to adopt and solve problems in many different industries.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Vivek Arya with Bank of America Securities. Your line is open.

Colette Kress: Your next question comes from Vivek Arya with Bank of America Securities. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Thanks for taking my questions. I just wanted to clarify the $2 billion to $5 billion in China. What needs to happen, and what is the sustainable pace of that China business as you get into Q4?

Vivek Arya: Thanks for taking my questions. Colette, I just wanted to clarify the $2 to $5 billion in China, what needs to happen, and what is the sustainable pace of that China business as you get into Q4. And then, Jensen, for you on the competitive landscape, several of your large customers already have or are planning many ASIC projects. I think one of your ASIC competitors, Broadcom, signaled that they could grow their AI business almost 55%, 60% next year. Any scenario in which you see the market moving more towards ASICs and away from NVIDIA GPU? Just what are you hearing from your customers? How are they managing this split between their use of merchant silicon and ASICs? Thank you.

Speaker #5: And then Jensen, for you on the competitive landscape, several of your large customers already have or are planning many ASIC projects. I think one of your, you know, ASIC competitive Broadcom signal that they could grow their AI business almost, you know, 55, 60% next year.

Speaker #5: Any scenario in which you see the market moving more towards ASICs and away from NVIDIA GPUs? Just what are you hearing from your customers?

Speaker #5: How are they managing this split between their use of merchant silicon and ASICs? Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thanks for that. So let me first answer your question regarding what it will take for the H2Os to be shipped. There is interest. In our H2Os, there is the initial set of licenses that we received.

Colette Kress: Thanks for that. So let me first answer your question regarding what will it take for the H20s to be shipped. There is interest in our H20s. There is the initial set of licenses that we received. And then additionally, we do have a supply that we are ready. And that's why we communicated that somewhere in the range of about $2 to $5 billion this quarter, we could potentially ship. We're still waiting on several of the geopolitical issues going back and forth between the governments and the companies trying to determine their purchases and what they want to do. So it's still open at this time. And we're not exactly sure what that full amount will be this quarter. However, if more interest arrives, more licenses arrive, again, we can also still build additional H20 and ship more as well.

Speaker #3: And then additionally, we do have supply that we are ready, and that's why we communicated that somewhere in the range of about $2 billion to $5 billion this quarter we could potentially ship.

Speaker #3: We're still waiting on several of the geopolitical issues going back and forth between the governments and the companies trying to determine their purchases and what they want to do.

Speaker #3: So it's still open at this time, and we're not exactly sure what that full amount will be for this quarter. However, if more interest arrives and more licenses arrive, we can also still build additional H2O and ship more as well.

Speaker #2: NVIDIA builds very different things than ASICs. But let's talk about ASICs first. A lot of projects are started many startup companies are created very few products go into production.

Jensen Huang: NVIDIA builds very different things than ASICs. But let's talk about ASICs first. A lot of projects are started. Many startup companies are created. Very few products go into production. And the reason for that is it's really hard. Accelerated computing is unlike general purpose computing. You don't write software and just compile it into a processor. Accelerated computing is a full stack co-design problem. And AI factories, in the last several years, have become so much more complex because the scale of the problems has grown so significantly. It is really the ultimate, the most extreme computer science problem the world's ever seen, obviously. And so the stack is complicated. The models are changing incredibly fast from generative based on autoregressive to generative based on diffusion to mixed models to multimodality.

Speaker #2: And the reason for that is really hard. Accelerated computing is unlike general-purpose computing. You don't write software and just compile it into a processor.

Speaker #2: Accelerated computing is a full-stack co-design problem. And AI factories in the last several years have become so much more complex because the scale of the problems has grown so significantly.

Speaker #2: It's really the ultimate, the most extreme computer science problem the world's ever seen, obviously. And so the stack is complicated. The models are changing incredibly fast.

Speaker #2: From generative models based on autoregressive techniques to those based on diffusion, and now to mixed models and multimodality, the number of different models emerging—whether they are derivatives of transformers or evolutions of transformers—is simply daunting.

Jensen Huang: The number of different models that are coming out that are either derivatives of transformers or evolutions of transformers is just daunting. One of the advantages that we have is that NVIDIA is available in every cloud. We're available from every computer company. We're available from the cloud to on-prem to edge to robotics on the same programming model. And so it's sensible that every framework in the world supports NVIDIA. When you're building a new model architecture, releasing it on NVIDIA is most sensible. And so the diversity of our platform, both in the ability to evolve into any architecture, the fact that we're everywhere, and also we accelerate the entire pipeline. You know, everything from data processing to pre-training to post-training with reinforcement learning, all the way out to inference.

Speaker #2: One of the advantages that we have is that NVIDIA is available in every cloud. We're available from every computer company. We're available from the cloud to on-prem to edge to robotics.

Speaker #2: On the same programming model. And so it's sensible that every framework in the world supports NVIDIA. When you're building a new model architecture, releasing it on NVIDIA's is most sensible.

Speaker #2: And so, the diversity of our platform—both in the ability to evolve into any architecture, the fact that we're everywhere, and also that we accelerate the entire pipeline.

Speaker #2: You know, everything from data processing to pre-training to post-training, which includes reinforcement learning, all the way out to inference. And so, when you build a data center with the NVIDIA platform in it, its utility is maximized.

Jensen Huang: And so when you build a data center with NVIDIA platform in it, the utility of it is best. The lifetime usefulness is much, much longer. And then I would just say that in addition to all of that, it is just a really extremely complex systems problem anymore. You know, people talk about the chip itself. There's one ASIC, the GPU that many people talk about. But in order to build Blackwell, the platform, and Rubin, the platform, we had to build CPUs that connect fast memory, low, extremely energy-efficient memory for large KB caching necessary for agentic AI to the GPU, to a SuperNIC, to a scale-up switch we call NVLink, completely revolutionary.

Speaker #2: The lifetime usefulness is much, much longer. And then I would just say that, in addition to all of that, it is just an extremely complex systems problem anymore.

Speaker #2: You know, people talk about the chip itself. There's one ASIC, the GPU that many people talk about. But in order to build Blackwell, the platform, and Rubin, the platform, we had to build CPUs that connect fast memory, low extremely energy efficient memory.

Speaker #2: For large KV caching, necessary for agentic AI, to the GPU, to a super NIC, to a scale-up switch, we call NVLink, completely revolutionary when we're in our fifth generation now.

Jensen Huang: We're in our fifth generation now, to a scale-out switch, whether it's Quantum or Spectrum X Ethernet, to now scale across switches so that we could prepare for these AI superfactories with multiple gigawatts of computing all connected together. We call that Spectrum XGS. We just announced that at Hot Chips this week. And so the complications, the complexity of everything that we do is really quite extraordinary. It's just done at a really, really extreme scale now. And then lastly, if I could just say one more thing, you know, we're in every cloud for a good reason. Not only are we the most energy efficient, our perf per watt is the best of any computing platform. And in a world of power-limited data centers, perf per watt drives directly to revenues.

Speaker #2: To scale out a switch, whether it's Quantum or Spectrum X Ethernet, we can now scale across switches to prepare for these AI super factories.

Speaker #2: With multiple gigawatts of computing all connected together, we call that Spectrum XGS. We just announced that at Hot Chips this week. The complications and complexity of everything that we do is really quite extraordinary.

Speaker #2: It's just done on a really, really extreme scale now. And then lastly, if I could just say one more thing: you know, we're in every cloud for a good reason.

Speaker #2: Not only are we the most energy efficient, but our per watt is the best of any computing platform. In a world of power-limited data centers, per watt drives directly to revenues.

Speaker #2: And, you know, you've heard me say before that, in a lot of ways, the more you buy, the more you grow. And because our performance per dollar is so incredible, you also have extremely great margins.

Jensen Huang: And you've heard me say before that in a lot of ways, the more you buy, the more you grow. And because our perf per dollar, the performance per dollar is so incredible, you also have extremely great margins. So the growth opportunity with NVIDIA's architecture and the gross margins opportunity with NVIDIA's architecture is absolutely the best. And so there's a lot of reasons why NVIDIA is chosen by every cloud and every startup and every computer company. We're really a holistic, full stack solution for AI factories.

Speaker #2: So the growth opportunity with NVIDIA's architecture and the growth margins opportunity with NVIDIA's architecture is absolutely the best. There are a lot of reasons why NVIDIA is chosen by every cloud, every startup, and every computer company.

Speaker #2: We're really a holistic full-stack solution for AI factories.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Ben Reitzes with Melius. Your line is open.

Colette Kress: Your next question comes from Ben Reitzes with Melias. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Hey, thanks a lot. Jensen, I wanted to ask you about your three to four trillion in data center infrastructure spend by the end of the decade.

Ben Reitzes: Hey, thanks a lot. Jensen, I wanted to ask you about your $3 to $4 trillion in data center infrastructure spend by the end of the decade. Previously, you talked about something in the $1 billion range, which I believe was just for compute by 2028. If you take past comments, $3 to $4 trillion would imply maybe $2 billion plus in compute spend. And I just wanted to know if that was right and that's what you're seeing by the end of the decade. And wondering what you think your share will be of that. Your share right now of total infrastructure compute-wise is very high. So I wanted to see, and also if there's any bottlenecks you're concerned about, like power, to get to the $3 to $4 trillion. Thanks a lot.

Speaker #5: Previously, you talked about something in the one billion range, which I believe was just for compute. By 2028, if you take past comments, you know, three to four trillion would imply maybe $2 billion plus in compute spend.

Speaker #5: And I just wanted to know if that was right and if that's what you're seeing by the end of the decade. I'm wondering what you think your share will be of that. Your share right now of total infrastructure compute-wise is very high.

Speaker #5: So, I wanted to see if there are any bottlenecks you're concerned about, like power. To get to the three to four trillion. Thanks a lot.

Speaker #2: Yeah, thanks. As you know, the CapEx of just the top four hyperscalers has doubled in two years. As the AI revolution went into full steam, the AI race is now on. The CapEx spend has doubled to $600 billion per year.

Jensen Huang: Yeah, thanks. As you know, the CapEx of just the top four hyperscalers has doubled in two years. As the AI revolution went into full steam, as the AI race is now on, the CapEx spend has doubled to $600 billion per year. There's five years between now and the end of the decade. And $600 billion only represents the top four hyperscalers. We still have the rest of the enterprise companies building on-prem. You have cloud service providers building around the world. The United States represents about 60% of the world's compute. And over time, you would think that artificial intelligence would reflect GDP scale and growth. And so it would be, of course, accelerating GDP growth. And so our contribution to that is a large part of the AI infrastructure.

Speaker #2: There's five years between now and the end of the decade, and $600 billion only represents the top four hyperscalers. We still have the rest of the enterprise companies building on-prem.

Speaker #2: You have cloud service providers building around the world. The United States represents about 60% of the world's compute. Over time, you would think that artificial intelligence would reflect GDP scale and growth.

Speaker #2: And so, and would be, of course, accelerating GDP growth. And so our contribution to that is a large part of the AI infrastructure. Out of a gigawatt AI factory, which can go anywhere from $50 to, you know, plus or minus 10%, let's say $50 to $60 billion, we represent about 35 plus or minus of that.

Jensen Huang: Out of a gigawatt AI factory, which can go anywhere from 50 to plus or minus 10%, let's say 50 to 60 billion, we represent about 35 plus or minus of that. And 35 out of 50 or so billion dollars for a gigawatt data center. And of course, what you get for that is not a GPU. I think people were famous for building the GPU and inventing the GPU. But as you know, over the last decade, we've really transitioned to become an AI infrastructure company. It takes six chips just to build six different types of chips just to build a Rubin AI supercomputer. And just to scale that out, you know, to a gigawatt, you have hundreds of thousands of GPU compute nodes and a whole bunch of racks. And so we're really an AI infrastructure company.

Speaker #2: And 35 out of 50, 50 or so billion dollars for a gigawatt data center. And of course, what you get for that is not a GPU.

Speaker #2: I think people, you know, we're famous for building the GPU and inventing the GPU. But, as you know, over the last decade, we've really transitioned to become an AI infrastructure company.

Speaker #2: It takes six chips just to build six different types of chips, just to build an AI and a Rubin AI supercomputer. And just to scale that out, you know, to a gigawatt, you have hundreds of thousands of GPU compute nodes.

Speaker #2: And a whole bunch of racks. We're really an AI infrastructure company, and we're hoping to continue to contribute to growing this industry, making AI more useful, and then very importantly, driving the performance per watt. Because the world, as you mentioned, will likely be limited by power limitations in AI infrastructure or AI building limitations.

Jensen Huang: And we're hoping to continue to contribute to growing this industry, making AI more useful, and then very importantly, driving the performance per watt. Because the world, as you mentioned, limiters, it will always likely be power limitations or AI infrastructure or AI building limitations. And so we need to squeeze as much out of that factory as possible. NVIDIA's performance per unit of energy use drives the revenue growth of that factory. It directly translates. If you have a 100 megawatt factory, perf per 100 megawatt drives your revenues. It's tokens per 100 megawatts of factory. In our case, also, the performance per dollar spent is so high that your gross margins are also the best. But anyhow, these are the limiters going forward. And $3 to $4 trillion is fairly sensible for the next five years.

Speaker #2: And so we need to squeeze as much out of that factory as possible. NVIDIA's performance per unit of energy use drives the revenue growth of that factory.

Speaker #2: It directly translates. If you have a hundred megawatt factory, per hundred megawatts drives your revenues. It's tokens per hundred megawatts of factory. In our case, also the performance per dollar spent is so high that your gross margins are also the best.

Speaker #2: But anyhow, these are the limiters going forward. Three to four trillion dollars is fairly sensible for the next five years.

Speaker #4: Next question comes from Joe Moore of Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.

Colette Kress: This question comes from Joe Moore of Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Great. Thank you. Congratulations on reopening the China opportunity. Can you talk about the long-term prospects there? You've mentioned, I think, that half of the AI software world is there.

Jensen Huang: Great. Thank you. Congratulations on reopening the China opportunity. Can you talk about the long-term prospects there? You've talked about, I think, half of the AI software world being there. You know, how much can NVIDIA grow in that business? And how important is it that you get the Blackwell architecture ultimately licensed there? The China market, I've estimated, to be about $50 billion of opportunity for us this year. If we were able to address it with competitive products, and if it's $50 billion this year, you would expect it to grow, say, 50% per year, as the rest of the world's AI market is growing as well. It is the second largest computing market in the world. And it is also the home of AI researchers. About 50% of the world's AI researchers are in China.

Speaker #5: You know, how much can NVIDIA grow in that business? And, you know, how important is it that you get the Blackwell architecture ultimately licensed there?

Speaker #2: The China market, I've estimated to be about $50 billion of opportunity for us this year. If we were able to address it with competitive products and if it's $50 billion this year, you would expect it to grow, say, 50% per year as the rest of the world's AI market is growing as well.

Speaker #2: It is the second largest computing market in the world, and it is also the home of AI researchers. About 50% of the world's AI researchers are in China.

Speaker #2: The vast majority of the leading open-source models are created in China. And so it's fairly important, I think, for American technology companies to be able to address that market.

Jensen Huang: The vast majority of the leading open source models are created in China. And so it's fairly important, I think, for the American technology companies to be able to address that market. And open source, as you know, is created in one country, but it's used all over the world. The open source models that have come out of China are really excellent. DeepSeek, of course, gained global notoriety. Qwen is excellent. Kimi is excellent. There's a whole bunch of new models that are coming out. They're multimodal. They're great language models. And it's really fueled the adoption of AI in enterprises around the world because enterprises want to build their own custom proprietary software stacks. And so open source model is really important for enterprise. It's really important for SaaS, who also would like to build proprietary systems. It has been really incredible for robotics around the world.

Speaker #2: And open source, as you know, is created in one country. But it's used all over the world. The open source models that have come out of China are really excellent.

Speaker #2: DeepSeq, of course, gained global notoriety. Q1 is excellent. Kimi is excellent. There's a whole bunch of new models that are coming out. They're multimodal.

Speaker #2: They're great language models, and it's really fueled the adoption of AI in enterprises around the world because enterprises want to build their own custom proprietary software stacks.

Speaker #2: Open-source models are really important for enterprises. They're also crucial for SaaS companies that want to build proprietary systems. The advancements in this area have been incredible for robotics.

Speaker #2: Around the world, open source is really important, and it's essential that American companies are able to address it. It's going to be a very large market.

Jensen Huang: And so open source is really important. And it's important that the American companies are able to address it. It's going to be a very large market. We're talking to the administration about the importance of American companies to be able to address the Chinese market. And as you know, H20 has been approved for companies that are not on the entities list. And many licenses have been approved. And so I think the opportunity for us to bring Blackwell to the China market is a real possibility. And so we just have to keep advocating the sensibility and the importance of American tech companies to be able to lead and win the AI race and help make the American tech stack the global standard.

Speaker #2: We're talking to, we're talking to the administration. About the importance of American companies to be able to address the Chinese market. And as you know, H20 has been approved for companies that are not on the entities list.

Speaker #2: And many licenses have been approved. And so I think the, you know, the opportunity for us to bring Blackwell to the China market is a real possibility.

Speaker #2: And so we just have to keep advocating for the sensibility of, and the importance of, American tech companies to be able to lead and win the AI race.

Speaker #2: And help make the American tech stack the global standard.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from the line of Aaron Rakers with Wells Fargo. Your line is open.

Colette Kress: Your next question comes from the line of Aaron Rakers with Wells Fargo. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Yeah, thank you for the question. You know, I want to go back to the Spectrum XGS announcement this week. And, you know, thinking about the Ethernet product now pushing over $10 billion of annualized revenue.

Jensen Huang: Yeah, thank you for the question. You know, I want to go back to the Spectrum XGS announcement this week and thinking about the Ethernet product now pushing over $10 billion of annualized revenue. You know, Jensen, what is the opportunity set that you see for Spectrum XGS? Do we think about this as kind of the data center interconnect layer? Any thoughts on the sizing of this opportunity within that Ethernet portfolio? Thank you. We now offer three networking technologies. One is for scale-up, one is for scale-out, and one for scale across. Scale-up is so that we could build the largest possible virtual GPU, the virtual compute node. NVLink is revolutionary. NVLink 72 is what made it possible for Blackwell to deliver such an extraordinary generational jump over Hopper's NVLink 8.

Speaker #5: You know, what is the opportunity set that you see for Spectrum XGS? Do we think about this as kind of the data center interconnect layer?

Speaker #5: Any thoughts on the sizing of this opportunity? You know, within that Ethernet portfolio? Thank you.

Speaker #2: We now offer three networking technologies. One is for scale up, one for scale out, and one for scale across. Scale up is so that we could build the largest possible virtual GPU, the virtual compute node.

Speaker #2: NVLink is revolutionary. NVLink 72 is what made it possible for Blackwell to deliver such an extraordinary generational jump over Hopper's NVLink 8. At a time when we have long-thinking, agentic AI reasoning systems.

Jensen Huang: Now, at a time when we have long-thinking thinking models, agentic AI reasoning systems, the NVLink basically amplifies the memory bandwidth, which is really critical for reasoning systems. And so NVLink 72 is fantastic. We then scale out with networking, which we have two. We have InfiniBand, which is unquestionably the lowest latency, the lowest jitter, the best scale-out network. It does require more expertise in managing those networks. And for supercomputing, for the leading model makers, InfiniBand, Quantum InfiniBand is the unambiguous choice. If you were to benchmark an AI factory, the ones with InfiniBand are the best performance. For those who would like to use Ethernet, because our whole data center is built with Ethernet, we have a new type of Ethernet called Spectrum Ethernet. Spectrum Ethernet is not off the shelf.

Speaker #2: The NVLink basically amplifies the memory bandwidth, which is really critical for reasoning systems. NVLink 72 is fantastic. We then scale out with networking, which we have two.

Speaker #2: We have infinite bandwidth, which is unquestionably the lowest latency, the lowest jitter, and the best scale-out network. It does require more expertise in managing those networks.

Speaker #2: And for supercomputing, for the leading model makers, infinite band Quantum infinite band is the unambiguous choice. If you were to benchmark an AI factory, the ones with infinite band are the best performance.

Speaker #2: For those who would like to use Ethernet because their entire data center is built with Ethernet, we have a new type of Ethernet called Spectrum Ethernet.

Speaker #2: Spectrum Ethernet is not off the shelf. It has a whole bunch of new technologies designed for low latency and low jitter and congestion control and it has the ability to come closer much, much closer to infinite band than anything that's out there.

Jensen Huang: It has a whole bunch of new technologies designed for low latency and low jitter and congestion control. And it has the ability to come closer, much, much closer to InfiniBand than anything that's out there. And that is, we call that Spectrum X Ethernet. And then finally, we have Spectrum XGS, a gigascale for connecting multiple data centers, multiple AI factories into a super factory, a gigantic system. And you're going to see that networking obviously is very important in AI factories. In fact, choosing the right networking, the performance, the throughput improvement, going from 65% to 85% or 90%, that kind of step up because of your networking capability effectively makes networking free. You know, choosing the right networking, you're basically paying, you'll get a return on it like you can't believe because the AI factory, a gigawatt, as I mentioned before, could be $50 billion.

Speaker #2: Not as we call that Spectrum X Ethernet. And then finally, we have Spectrum XGS, a gigascale solution for connecting multiple data centers and multiple AI factories into a super factory.

Speaker #2: A gigantic system. And you're going to see that networking, obviously, is very important in AI factories. In fact, choosing the right networking can lead to impressive performance improvements, with throughput going from 65% to 85% or even 90%.

Speaker #2: That kind of, that kind of step up because of your networking capability effectively makes networking free. You know, choosing the right networking, you're basically paying, you know, you're you'll get a return on it like you can't believe because the AI factory, a gigawatt, as I mentioned before, could be 50 billion dollars.

Speaker #2: And so the ability to improve the efficiency of that factory by tens of percent results in $10 billion to $20 billion worth of effective benefit.

Jensen Huang: And so the ability to improve the efficiency of that factory by tens of percent results in $10, $20 billion worth of effective benefit. And so you know, the networking is a very important part of it. It's the reason why NVIDIA dedicates so much in networking. That's the reason why we purchased Mellanox five and a half years ago. And Spectrum X, as we mentioned earlier, is now quite a sizable business. And it's only about a year and a half old. So Spectrum X is a home run. All three of them are going to be fantastic. NVLink, scale up, Spectrum X and InfiniBand, scale out, and then Spectrum XGS for scale across.

Speaker #2: And so you know, networking is a very important part of it. It's the reason why NVIDIA dedicates so much to networking. It's the reason why we purchased Mellanox five and a half years ago.

Speaker #2: And Spectrum X, as we mentioned earlier, is now quite a sizable business. It's only about a year and a half old, so Spectrum X is a home run.

Speaker #2: All three of them are going to be fantastic: NVLink scale-up, Spectrum X and InfiniBand scale-out, and then Spectrum XGS for scale-across.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Stacy Raskin with Bernstein Research. Your line is open.

Colette Kress: Your next question comes from Stacy Raskin with Bernstein Research. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Hi guys. Thanks for taking my question. I have a more tactical question for Colette. So on the guide up, you know, over $7 billion, the vast bulk of that is going to be from data center. How do I think about apportioning that $7 billion out across Blackwell versus Hopper versus networking?

Jensen Huang: Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I have a more tactical question for Colette. So on the guide, you know, over $7 billion, the vast bulk of that is going to be from data center. How do I think about apportioning that $7 billion out across Blackwell versus Hopper versus networking? I mean, it looks like Blackwell was probably $27 billion and a quarter up from maybe $23 last quarter. You know, Hopper is still $6 or $7 billion post the H20. Like, do you think the Hopper strength continues? Just how do I think about parsing that $7 billion out across those three different components?

Speaker #5: I mean, it looks like Blackwell was probably $27 billion in the quarter, up from maybe $23 billion last quarter. You know, Hopper is still $6 or $7 billion post the H2O.

Speaker #5: Like, do you think the Hopper strength continues? Just how do I think about parsing that $7 billion out across those three different components?

Speaker #3: Thanks, Stacy. For the question, first part of it, looking at our growth between Q2 and Q3, Blackwell is still going to be the lion's share of what we have in terms of data center. But keep in mind that it helps both our compute side as well as it helps our networking side.

Colette Kress: Thanks, Stacy, for the question. First part of it, looking at our growth between Q2 and Q3, Blackwell is still going to be the lion's share of what we have in terms of data center. But keep in mind, that helps both our compute side as well as it helps our networking side because we are selling those significant systems that are incorporating the NVLink that Jensen just spoke about. Selling Hopper, we are still selling it. H100, H200s, we are. But again, they are HGX systems, and I still believe our Blackwell will be the lion's share of what we're doing on there. So we'll continue. We don't have any more specific details in terms of how we'll finish our quarter. But you should expect Blackwell, again, to be the driver of the growth.

Speaker #3: Because we are selling those significant systems that are incorporating the NVLink that Jensen just spoke about. We are still selling Hopper, H100, and H200.

Speaker #3: But again, they are HGX systems, and they still believe our Blackwell will be the lion's share of what we're doing on there. So we'll continue; we don't have any more specific details in terms of how we'll finish our quarter.

Speaker #3: But you should expect Blackwell again to be the driver of the growth.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Jim Schneider of Goldman Sachs. Your line is open.

Colette Kress: Your next question comes from Jim Schneider of Goldman Sachs. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. You've been very clear about the reasoning model opportunity that you see, and you've also been relatively clear about the technical specs for Rubin.

Jensen Huang: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. You've been very clear about the reasoning model opportunity that you see. And you've also been relatively clear about the technical specs for Rubin. But maybe you could provide a little bit of context about how you view the Rubin product transition going forward. What incremental capability does that offer to customers? And would you say that Rubin is a bigger, smaller, or similar step up in terms of performance from a capability perspective relative to what we saw at Blackwell? Thank you. Yeah. Thanks. Rubin, we're on an annual cycle. And the reason why we're on an annual cycle is because we can do so to accelerate the cost reduction and maximize the revenue generation for our customers.

Speaker #5: But maybe you could provide a little bit of context about how you view the Rubin product transition going forward. What incremental capability does that offer to customers?

Speaker #5: And would you say that Rubin is a bigger, smaller, or similar step up in terms of performance from a capability perspective relative to what we saw with Blackwell?

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Yeah, thanks. Rubin. We're on an annual cycle. The reason why we're on an annual cycle is that we can do so to accelerate the cost reduction and maximize the revenue generation for our customers.

Speaker #2: When we increase the power per watt, the token generation per amount of usage of energy, we are effectively driving the revenues of our customers.

Jensen Huang: When we increase the perf per watt, the token generation per amount of usage of energy, we are effectively driving the revenues of our customers. The perf per watt of Blackwell will be, for reasoning systems, an order of magnitude higher than Hopper. And so for the same amount of energy, and everybody's data center is energy limited by definition. For any data center that we're using Blackwell, you'll be able to maximize your revenues compared to anything we've done in the past, compared to anything in the world today. And because the perf per dollar, the performance is so good that the perf per dollar invested in the capital would also allow you to improve your gross margins.

Speaker #2: The per per watt of Blackwell will be for reasoning systems in order of magnitude higher than Hopper. And so for the same amount of energy and everybody's data center is energy limited by definition.

Speaker #2: For any data center that we are using Blackwell, you'll be able to maximize your revenues. Compared to anything we've done in the past, compared to anything in the world today.

Speaker #2: And because the per per dollar, the performance is so good that the per per dollar invested in the capital would also allow you to improve your gross margins.

Speaker #2: To the extent that we have great ideas for every single generation, we could improve their revenue generation, improve the AI capability, and improve the margins of our customers.

Jensen Huang: To the extent that we have great ideas for every single generation, we could improve the revenue generation, improve the AI capability, improve the margins of our customers by releasing new architectures. And so we advise our partners, our customers, to pace themselves and to build these data centers on an annual rhythm. And Rubin is going to have a whole bunch of new ideas. I paused for a second because I've got plenty of time between now and a year from now to tell you about all the breakthroughs that Rubin is going to bring. But Rubin has a lot of great ideas. I'm anxious to tell you, but I can't right now. And I'll save it for GTC to tell you more and more about it. But nonetheless, for the next year, we're ramping really hard into now Grace Blackwell GB200 and then now Blackwell Ultra GB300.

Speaker #2: By releasing new architectures, we advise our partners and our customers to pace themselves and to build these data centers on an annual rhythm.

Speaker #2: And Rubin is going to have a whole bunch of new ideas. I paused for a second because, you know, I’ve got plenty of time between now and a year from now to tell you about all the breakthroughs that Rubin's going to bring.

Speaker #2: But Rubin has a lot of great ideas. I'm anxious to tell you, but I can't right now. I'll save it for GTC to tell you more and more about it.

Speaker #2: But nonetheless, for the next year, we're ramping really hard into now Grace Blackwell GB200 and then now Blackwell Ultra GB300. We're ramping really hard into data centers this year; this is obviously a record-breaking year.

Jensen Huang: We're ramping really hard into data centers. This year is obviously a record-breaking year. I expect next year to be a record-breaking year. And while we continue to increase the performance of AI capabilities as we race towards artificial superintelligence on the one hand and continue to increase the revenue generation capabilities of our hyperscalers on the other hand.

Speaker #2: I expect next year to be a record-breaking year. While we continue to increase the performance of AI capabilities as we race towards artificial superintelligence on the one hand, we also continue to enhance the revenue generation capabilities of our hyperscalers on the other hand.

Speaker #4: Your final question comes from Timothy Arcuri with UBS. Your line is open.

Colette Kress: Your final question comes from Timothy Arcuri with UBS. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Thanks a lot. Jensen, I wanted to ask you just to answer the question you threw at a number: you said 50% CAGR for the AI market.

Jensen Huang: Thanks a lot. Jensen, I wanted to ask you, just answer the question you threw at a number. You said 50% CAGR for the AI market. So I'm wondering how much visibility that you have into next year. Is that kind of a reasonable bogey in terms of how much your data center revenue should grow next year? I would think you'll grow at least in line with that CAGR. And maybe are there any puts and takes to that? Thanks. Well, I think that the best way to look at it is we have reasonable forecasts from our large customers for next year, a very, very significant forecast. And we still have a lot of businesses that we're still winning and a lot of startups that are still being created. Don't forget that the number of startups for AI-native startups was $100 billion funded last year.

Speaker #5: So, I'm wondering how much visibility you have into next year. Is that kind of a reasonable bogey in terms of how much your data center revenue should grow next year?

Speaker #5: I would think you'll grow at least in line with that CAGR. Are there any puts and takes to that? Thanks.

Speaker #2: Well, I think that the best way to look at it is that we have reasonable forecasts from our large customers for next year.

Speaker #2: Very, very significant forecasts. And we still have a lot of businesses that we're still winning, and a lot of startups that are still being created.

Speaker #2: Don't forget that the number of AI-native startups funded last year was $100 billion. This year, and the year's not even over yet.

Jensen Huang: This year, the year is not even over yet. It's $180 billion funded. If you look at AI-native, the top AI-native startups that are generating revenues, last year was $2 billion. This year is $20 billion. Next year being 10 times higher than this year is not inconceivable. And the open source models are now opening up large enterprises, SaaS companies, industrial companies, robotics companies to now join the AI revolution, another source of growth. And you know whether it's AI-natives or enterprise SaaS or industrial AI or startups, we're just seeing just an enormous amount of interest in AI and demand for AI. Right now, the buzz is, I'm sure all of you know about the buzz out there. The buzz is everything's sold out. H100s sold out. H200s are sold out. Large CSPs are coming out, renting capacity from other CSPs.

Speaker #2: It's $180 billion funded. If you look at the top AI native startups that are generating revenue, last year it was $2 billion.

Speaker #2: This year's revenue is $20 billion. Next year, it is projected to be 10 times higher than this year. It's not inconceivable. The availability of open-source models is now enabling large enterprises, SaaS companies, industrial companies, and robotics companies to join the AI revolution.

Speaker #2: Another source of growth. And you know, whether it's AI natives or enterprise SaaS or industrial AI or startups, we're just seeing an enormous amount.

Speaker #2: Of interest in AI and demand for AI. Right now, the buzz is—I'm sure all of you know about the buzz out there. The buzz is everything sold out.

Speaker #2: H100 is sold out. H200s are sold out. Large CSPs are coming out, renting capacity from other CSPs. And so, the AI-native startups are really scrambling to get capacity.

Jensen Huang: And so the AI-native startups are really scrambling to get capacity so that they could train their reasoning models. And so the demand is really, really high. But the long-term outlook between where we are today, CapEx has doubled in two years. It is now running about $600 billion a year just in the large hyperscalers. You know, for us to grow into that $600 billion a year, representing a significant part of that CapEx, isn't unreasonable. And so I think the next several years, surely through the decade, we see just really fast growing, really significant growth opportunities ahead. Let me conclude with this. Blackwell is the next generation AI platform the world's been waiting for. It delivers an exceptional generational leap. NVIDIA's NVLink 72 rack scale computing is revolutionary, arriving just in time as reasoning AI models drive order of magnitude increases in training and inference performance requirements.

Speaker #2: So they could train their reasoning models. And so the demand is really, really high. But the long-term outlook between where we are today, CapEx has doubled in two years.

Speaker #2: It is now running about $600 billion a year just in the large hyperscalers. For us to grow into that $600 billion a year, it represents a significant part of that CapEx.

Speaker #2: It's an unreasonable. And so I think I think the next several years surely through the through the decade we see just really fast growing really significant growth opportunities ahead.

Speaker #2: Let me conclude with this. Blackwell is the next generation AI platform the world has been waiting for. It delivers an exceptional generational leap. NVIDIA's NVLink 72 rack-scale computing is revolutionary.

Speaker #2: Arriving just in time as reasoning AI models drive order of magnitude increases in training and inference performance requirements. Blackwell Ultra is ramping at full speed, and the demand is extraordinary.

Jensen Huang: Blackwell Ultra is ramping at full speed, and the demand is extraordinary. Our next platform, Rubin, is already in fab. We have six new chips that represent the Rubin platform. They have all taped out to TSMC. Rubin will be our third generation NVLink rack scale AI supercomputer. And so we expect to have a much more mature and fully scaled-up supply chain. Blackwell and Rubin AI factory platforms will be scaling into the $3 to $4 trillion global AI factory buildout through the end of the decade. Customers are building ever greater scale AI factories from thousands of Hopper GPUs in tens of megawatt data centers to now hundreds of thousands of Blackwells in hundred megawatt facilities. And soon, we'll be building millions of Rubin GPU platforms powering multi-gigawatt, multi-site AI super factories. With each generation, demand only grows.

Speaker #2: One-shot chatbots have evolved into reasoning agentic AI that research, plan, and use tools, driving orders of magnitude jumps in compute for both training and inference.

Jensen Huang: One-shot chatbots have evolved into reasoning agentic AI that research, plan, and use tools, driving orders of magnitude jump in compute for both training and inference. Agentic AI is reaching maturity and has opened the enterprise market to build domain and company-specific AI agents for enterprise workflows, products, and services. The age of physical AI has arrived, unlocking entirely new industries in robotics, industrial automation. Every industrial company will need to build two factories, one to build the machines and another to build their robotic AI. This quarter, NVIDIA reached record revenues and an extraordinary milestone in our journey. The opportunity ahead is immense. A new industrial revolution has started. The AI race is on. Thanks for joining us today. And I'll look forward to addressing you next week, next earnings call. Thank you.
