**Amazon’s AI Chip Business Grows to $25 Billion Annual Run Rate**
On July 30, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) reported impressive second-quarter results, with net sales climbing 20% year-over-year to $200.6 billion and earnings per share at $5.75. A key highlight was the announcement from CEO Andy Jassy regarding the company’s artificial intelligence chip business, which now has a $25 billion annual run rate, marking a 25% increase from the previous quarter.
The demand for Amazon’s Trainium AI chips, particularly among Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers, has surged, with a growth rate in triple digits year-over-year. This custom AI chip line offers better price-performance compared to competitors like Nvidia, positioning Amazon to potentially enhance its operating margins within its cloud computing sector. Although the $25 billion run rate represents a small fraction of Amazon’s over $700 billion in total annual revenue, the rapid growth indicates a significant future opportunity for the tech giant.
