Nvidia, the company at the center of an explosive build-out of AI computing, expects to generate at least $1 trillion from its Blackwell and Rubin chips through the end of 2027.The company had previously forecast that the chips would bring $500 billion in sales by the end of 2026. The latest forecast, delivered by Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang during the company’s GTC event, extends the outlook.
The forecast underscores the scale of Nvidia’s business, which has been supercharged by demand for chips that develop and run AI models. But the cumulative figure doesn’t suggest a tremendous acceleration in sales growth.
After initially rising as much as 4.8%, the shares soon pared their gains on Monday.A flood of spending on AI chips has turned Nvidia into the world’s most valuable company. But investors have sought more evidence that the market’s growth remains on track. Nvidia is also facing mounting competition from rivals like Advanced Micro Devices Inc., as well as its own customers attempting to produce in-house chips to handle AI.
The company has accelerated its technology development in recent years. Nvidia tries to replace its entire product lineup on an annual basis while adding new components. The next design of its flagship AI processors, appearing in systems in the second half of 2026, is called Vera Rubin. The lineup is named for the pioneering astronomer whose observations provided evidence supporting the existence of dark matter.
