Nvidia shares moved higher during early Wednesday sessions, brushing aside concerns about Arm Holdings’ entry into the AI chip arena. The development coincided with two significant revenue opportunities that had escaped widespread attention.
NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA
Arm revealed its inaugural data center CPU on Tuesday evening—the Arm AGI CPU—identifying Meta Platforms and OpenAI among its initial clients. During an after-hours investor presentation, Arm outlined aggressive financial targets, forecasting approximately $15 billion in yearly CPU revenue by 2031 as part of a comprehensive $25 billion revenue objective.
Arm shares surged 12% in premarket activity following the disclosure.
However, industry observers were swift to clarify that this new processor doesn’t directly challenge Nvidia’s flagship GPU offerings.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, appeared in Arm’s promotional content, characterizing their nearly twenty-year collaboration as the backbone for “one seamless platform, from cloud to edge to AI factories.”
The competitive dynamic becomes more nuanced regarding Nvidia’s recently launched Vera CPUs, introduced during last week’s developer conference. J.P. Morgan’s Harlan Sur highlighted potential overlap between Arm’s chip and that product category. He additionally noted Meta’s existing agreement with Nvidia for Arm-architecture CPUs—complicating the competitive landscape.
Separately, Amazon Web Services revealed plans to procure 1 million Nvidia GPUs dedicated to AI inference capabilities. The announcement caught many off guard—AWS had previously promoted itself as housing “the largest cluster of non-Nvidia chips in the world” following its October 2025 Indiana data center deployment.
The agreement encompasses a “broad mix” of six supplementary Nvidia chip variants, including the recently announced Groq 3 inference processors, alongside Nvidia networking equipment. Industry estimates place the complete package well beyond $50 billion, with completion targeted by late 2027.
This singular agreement accounts for approximately 25% of Nvidia’s total 2025 annual revenue.
CEO Jensen Huang confirmed last week that Nvidia is resuming manufacturing of its H200 processor—engineered to meet U.S. export control requirements—specifically for Chinese customers. Industry sources suggest a China-compliant Groq 3 variant is also under development.
Nvidia had incorporated zero Chinese data center sales into its Q1 projections. Throughout 2025, those revenues approximated $8 billion quarterly—roughly $32 billion on an annualized basis, representing about 15% of total 2025 revenue.
Together, the AWS contract and China market reentry represent over $82 billion in revenue streams absent from Nvidia’s current financial forecasts.
Nvidia shares traded 1.6% higher at $177.97 during premarket hours Wednesday, rebounding from a 0.3% decline in the previous session.
