Nvidia’s new $500B plan is risky but brilliant, especially for aging GPUs
Nvidia has a plan to make sure its GPUs won't lose value. It wants to convince a new crop of financiers to keep lending for AI buildouts.
AI Summary
Nvidia announced that Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR will each commit up to $500 billion to build AI data centers. The announcement also revealed Nvidia’s plan to create a secondary market for aging GPUs. To persuade the financial firms, Nvidia agreed to guarantee the value of its chips when they are used as collateral in these deals. This guarantee is intended to protect investors and support the resale of older GPU hardware.
