Nvidia Reveals AWS Will Deploy 2 Million Additional GPUs by Mid-2028 in Expanded AI Partnership

Nvidia announced during its earnings call that Amazon Web Services will deploy 2 million additional Nvidia GPUs across its global infrastructure through the second quarter of fiscal year 2029, roughly mid-2028, along with Vera CPUs. The deal significantly expands an earlier arrangement, confirmed in March 2026, under which Nvidia was set to deliver 1 million GPUs to AWS between 2026 and 2027. The expanded partnership also includes plans to build secure data centers for the U.S. government housing 100,000 GPUs.

On the software and platform side, AWS will offer Nvidia's Nemotron open models through its Bedrock and SageMaker services, and Amazon will integrate Nvidia's Omniverse, Cosmos, Isaac, and Jetson stack into its warehouse robotics fleet. Nvidia shares extended gains to 2.9% during the call on the announcement, reflecting investor confidence in the scale of AI infrastructure spending from one of the largest cloud providers.

FaststocknewssNVIDIA $NVDA IS NOW PROVIDING CREDIT SUPPORT ON UP TO $105 BILLION OF OPENAI’S DATA CENTER LEASE OBLIGATIONS In August 2026 NVIDIA entered guarantees on the land, power and shell buildout to secure roughly 4.25 gigawatts at SB Energy’s PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Ohio. The site will exclusively host NVIDIA infrastructure under 20-year leases to OpenAI, subject to limited exceptions. - Guarantee obligations capped at $105B - Effective in phases, the first expected in fiscal 2029 - Exposure declines as OpenAI fulfills lease payments - NVIDIA holds an option to provide credit support for roughly 3.8 additional gigawatts as the site scales NVIDIA says each generation of infrastructure deployed at PORTS-Pike could represent roughly 1.5 million GPUs, or $150B-$200B in NVIDIA revenue. Total guarantee exposure across all agreements is now $108.5B, up from $3.5B excluding this deal.
