    • Nvidia equipment value per gigawatt of AI data center surged from ~$18B to over $40B, driven by expansion beyond GPUs into networking, CPUs, storage, and software.
    • Nvidia captures approximately 40% of total build costs for hyperscalers, while this share rises to 80% for non-hyperscaler buyers like enterprises or sovereign AI projects.
    • Jensen Huang predicts this 'capture per gigawatt' metric and overall business scale will double annually, highlighting Nvidia's dominant pricing power in AI infrastructure.
