“Meanwhile, we'll ship the computers to somebody who can use it.”
“We're [Nvidia] the only computing platform that is standard for every AI model.”

$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang says “software licensing will become increasingly a major part of our company’s business.”
He said it could cost “about $2,000 per GPU per year” to run NVIDIA’s software for AI agents in these AI factories.
So, some napkin math at that price, before discounts:
500K licensed GPUs = $1B in annual revenue.
1 million licensed GPUs = $2B
5 million licensed GPUs = $10B
So, hypothetically, NVIDIA could earn billions a year from GPUs it has already sold by selling enterprise software and support to the companies using them.
Note: These are illustrative revenue scenarios using Jensen’s pricing example, not NVIDIA guidance or profit estimates.
