To help readers understand the content better, the following terms and glossaries have been provided.

Data Center: Nvidia’s Data Center platform is focused on accelerating the most compute-intensive workloads, such as AI, data analytics, graphics, and scientific computing, delivering significantly better performance and power efficiency relative to conventional CPU-only approaches.

It is deployed in cloud, hyperscale, on-premises and edge data centers. The platform consists of compute and networking offerings typically delivered to customers as systems, subsystems, or modules, along with software and services.

Compute: Nvidia’s compute offerings include supercomputing platforms and servers, bringing together its energy efficient GPUs, CPUs, interconnects, and fully optimized AI and HPC software stacks.

In addition, they include Nvidia’s AI Enterprise software; DGX Cloud service; and a growing body of acceleration libraries, APIs, SDKs, and domain-specific application frameworks

Networking: Nvidia’s networking offerings include end-to-end platforms for InfiniBand and Ethernet, consisting of network adapters, cables, DPUs, switch chips and systems, as well as a full software stack.

This has enabled Nvidia to architect data center-scale computing platforms that can interconnect thousands of compute nodes with high-performance networking.

While historically the server was the unit of computing, as AI and HPC workloads have become extremely large spanning thousands of compute nodes, the data center has become the new unit of computing, with networking as an integral part.

Data Center Customers: Nvidia’s customers include the world’s leading public cloud and consumer internet companies, thousands of enterprises and startups, and public sector entities.

Nvidia works with industry leaders to help build or transform their applications and data center infrastructure.

The company’s direct customers include original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, original device manufacturers, or ODMs, system integrators and distributors which Nvidia partners with to help bring their products to market.

Nvidia also has partnerships in automotive, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, and technology among others, to accelerate the adoption of AI.

What drives Nvidia’s significant revenue growth within the Compute platform?

Nvidia’s significant revenue growth within the Compute platform is primarily driven by the explosive demand for AI training and inference. The Compute platform includes components like processors and memory chips that run applications on servers. This segment has seen remarkable growth due to the increasing adoption of AI technologies across various industries.

In fiscal year 2025, Nvidia’s data center compute revenue grew by 162% year-over-year. This growth is attributed to the high demand for Nvidia’s AI supercomputers, particularly the Blackwell platform. The company’s ability to ramp up massive-scale production of these AI supercomputers has significantly contributed to its revenue growth.

Additionally, Nvidia’s Compute platform plays a crucial role in high-performance computing (HPC), cloud computing, data analytics, and scientific research, further driving its revenue growth.
