1.58-million-staff Amazon will soon have more Nvidia GPUs than employees — AWS to buy more than 3 million additional chips before 2029 in addition to thousands of existing H100, H200
Amazon has fewer employees than the more than 3 million Nvidia GPUs on order for delivery before 2029, even as its Trainium3 chips are already nearly fully subscribed.
Amazon is set to significantly boost its Nvidia GPU capabilities, potentially surpassing the number of its employees by 2029. The tech giant has secured a deal with Nvidia to acquire more than 3 million additional GPUs before 2029, in addition to thousands of existing H100 and H200 GPUs. This deal includes 2 million Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, and Rubin Ultra GPUs, which will be delivered over the next two years.
In comparison, Amazon employs approximately 1.58 million staff members, most of whom work in fulfillment centers and delivery operations. While this deal dwarfs Amazon's entire payroll, it also includes a national security component, with about 100,000 GPUs earmarked for US government AI workloads.
