    Amazon's Trainium Chip Business Hits $20B Annual Revenue Pace

    Question

    Amazon's Trainium Chip Business Hits $20B Annual Revenue Pace

    Direct answer

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is doubling down on custom silicon to lower the cost of AI training and inference. The $20 billion run rate for Trainium suggests that AWS customers are increasingly opting for Amazon's in-house chips over Nvidia's more expensive GPUs. With $225 billion in backlog, Amazon has the financial cushion to sustain its $200 billion AI infrastructure build-out, even if the broader economy slows.
