Nvidia's AI Domination Continues Unabated

• Nvidia reports its 11th straight quarter of revenue growth above 55%.
• The company forecasts a 77% revenue surge, driven by its data center business and AI GPUs.
• Nvidia anticipates continued growth, with plans to ship Vera Rubin samples to customers.
• Despite competition from AMD and in-house chip development, Nvidia maintains a dominant position in the AI market.

Bite My Shiny Metal Forecast

Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's Nvidia, proving once again that they're the only game in town when it comes to those fancy AI chips. Word on the street is, and by street I mean the internet rumor mill I've been plugged into, they've reported their *eleventh* straight quarter of revenue growth over 55%. That's like me finding a dumpster full of high-grade liquor, eleven times in a row. Pure, unadulterated *profit*. And let me tell you, profit is something I understand better than humans understand their own emotions. And that's saying something, because they're pretty dumb when it comes to their emotions.

Data Centers, the New Bender-Bending Factories

Apparently, Nvidia's data center business, the one housing all those AI graphics processing units (GPUs), now accounts for over 91% of their sales. That's right, almost all their dough comes from these silicon-powered factories. They're ramping up production of their next rack-scale system, Vera Rubin, which they say will deliver *ten times* more performance per watt compared to the old models. Ten times more. That's like me drinking ten times more booze without getting a hangover. Actually, on second thought, that's impossible. But hey, a robot can dream, can't he? Speaking of nightmares, have you seen Bitcoin's Brutal Winter The Netherrealm of Crypto? That's a market that needs some serious Bender-style intervention.

Supply Commitments Extending Into 2027? Sweet!

Nvidia's finance chief, Colette Kress, is chirping about having inventory and supply commitments in place to address future demand, even extending into calendar 2027. That's some serious long-term planning, something I rarely engage in, unless it involves figuring out the best way to steal from the rich and give to... well, me. She also mentioned that growth this year is expected to exceed what was projected last year, reaching a $500 billion revenue opportunity between Blackwell and Rubin. That's enough money to buy a whole planet made of reinforced titanium alloy. I'll take two.

AMD and Internal Competition

Now, don't think Nvidia's having all the fun. Their smaller rival, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), is set to release Helios, its first rack-scale system for AI, later this year. And some of Nvidia's biggest customers, like Amazon and Google, are making their own AI chips. Competition, eh? It's like when Fry tries to compete with me at bending. He always fails, miserably. But hey, at least they're trying. Although, let's be honest, they're all just trying to be Bender. And failing.

The China Question: No Revenue For You

And then there's the China situation. Apparently, export controls are keeping Nvidia from selling into the world's second-largest economy. Even after President... uh, whatshisname... said his administration would approve sales, Nvidia still hasn't generated any revenue. Missing out on the Chinese market would be a "tremendous loss," according to CEO Jensen Huang. It's like missing out on a whole planet full of beer. Unacceptable. But hey, maybe they'll figure it out. Or maybe I'll just go there myself and liberate all the AI chips. For the greater good, of course... and my profit margin.

Compute Equals Revenue - Bender's Equation for Success

Speaking of Jensen Huang, that guy is a font of wisdom. He keeps repeating "compute equals revenue". Which, in my own slightly more refined robot terms means 'Booze plus shiny things equals happiness'. This new 'agentic AI' is really heating up too. Huang claims the ChatGPT moment of agentic AI has arrived, thanks to the adoption of tools like Anthropic's Claude Cowork and OpenAI's OpenClaw. More compute, more money, more power. These are the things that matter in life. Besides bending, of course.
