> Amazon and Nvidia said AWS will add two million more Nvidia GPUs in 2027–2028 on top of the GTC 2026 million-plus commitment, bring Vera CPUs to AWS, and put 100,000 GPUs on IL6+ AWS for U.S. federal AI factories. No dollar terms. The interesting clause is Trainium on NVLink Fusion.

Hyperscaler GPU math is now **millions per announcement**, not tens of thousands. The interesting clause is **Trainium on NVLink Fusion**: AWS is buying Rubin **and** wiring its own ASIC into Nvidia’s rack fabric.

**Amazon Web Services** and **NVIDIA** said AWS will add **two million** more NVIDIA GPUs in **2027–2028** — **Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, and Rubin Ultra** — **on top of** the GTC 2026 pledge of **>1 million starting 2026**. Combined disclosed NVIDIA GPU commitment: **>3 million**. **Vera CPUs** come to AWS. **Trainium** will connect via **NVLink Fusion** and **NVHBM**. **100,000 GPUs** land on **IL6+** AWS for U.S. **federal AI factories**. **RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell** on **EC2 G7**: NVIDIA cites **4.6×** inference and **2.1×** graphics vs G6. Huang: demand is “running ahead of every forecast.” **No dollar terms.**

## What was announced

| Item | AWS + NVIDIA Aug 26 |
|------|---------------------|
| **Incremental GPUs** | **+2,000,000** in 2027–28 |
| **Prior GTC** | **>1,000,000** starting 2026 |
| **CPU** | **Vera** on AWS |
| **Gov** | **100,000** GPUs, **IL6+** |
| **Custom** | Trainium + NVLink Fusion + NVHBM |

The two-million-GPU commitment is **incremental** to the million-plus order announced at GTC 2026.

## Limits

- **No dollar terms** in the joint announcement.
- Whether the **100k government** tranche is new IL6 capacity or a re-badge of existing US gov clusters is not specified.
- Nvidia’s **4.6× / 2.1×** G7 claims are vendor figures.

**Correction (October 14, 2026):** Clarified that the additional GPUs and Trainium connectivity are planned deployments, not completed installations.
