Nvidia's per-gigawatt revenue opportunity climbs from $18B to $40B as it sells the whole AI factory

A Chart of the Day breakdown argues Nvidia's next act goes beyond selling AI chips: Huang wants Nvidia to be the architecture of AI itself — "the input is electrons, the output is tokens."
Key numbers from Nvidia's latest earnings call: the revenue opportunity per gigawatt of AI-factory power capacity has climbed from roughly $18B with Hopper to $25B with Grace Blackwell and $40B with Vera Rubin.
The jump comes because Vera Rubin bundles new CPUs, GPUs, and Nvidia's own networking and memory — selling more of the factory around the GPU rather than just the GPU.
