OpenAI commits massive GPU capacity to Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
OpenAI committed to 10 gigawatts of systems from Nvidia and 6 gigawatts of GPU capacity from AMD. Additionally, OpenAI partnered with Broadcom to co-develop custom AI chips, known as Jalapeño, for its compute infrastructure. OpenAI also received up to $100 billion in commitment and $13 billion in investment.
Why it matters
The commitments underscore massive capital expenditure in AI infrastructure. Nvidia's 12-gigawatt commitment anchors its revenue surge, while Broadcom projects $230 billion in AI semiconductor revenue for fiscal 2028. AMD stated that its 6 gigawatt arrangement with OpenAI should generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue.
