Nvidia's $2 billion investment supports CoreWeave's plan to build over five gigawatts of AI data center capacity by 2030 using integrated chips, CPUs, and storage technology.

  • Against a backdrop of Nvidia's China strategy, Jensen Huang's modest market visit contrasted with his global AI chip mogul profile as Nvidia awaits H200 chips licensing and excludes China revenue outlook.
