Nvidia Per-Gigawatt Revenue Hits $40B With Vera Rubin as Anthropic Locks In 2.5 GW
Nvidia revealed that Anthropic has contracted $180B in infrastructure, including 2.5 GW of Nvidia-specific AI capacity by 2028. Nvidia's revenue per gigawatt has increased from $18B (Hopper) to $40B (Vera Rubin) due to expanded product mix. Anthropic's deals include AWS, Nscale, Lambda, and others, with 2.5 GW directly tied to Nvidia. Revenue depends on customers adopting Nvidia's full-stack designs.
