Amazon Unveils New AI Chips and Tightens Nvidia Ties, Yet Cloud Capacity Remains Key
At Re:Invent 2025, AWS unveiled Trainium 3, a custom AI‑training chip delivering roughly four‑fold performance and energy gains, promising up to 50 % cost cuts. It also introduced AWS Factories, an on‑premise service that blends Trainium accelerators with Nvidia GPUs for a full‑stack AI solution. AWS added 3.8 GW of compute in the past year and targets over 12 GW by 2027, which analysts say could generate $150 billion in annual revenue. The dual hardware strategy aims to reduce GPU‑dependency, enhance supply‑chain resilience, and sharpen AWS’s competitive edge against Azure and Google Cloud.
