While investors mostly focus on below whispered q3 guidance, or that revenue beat is smaller than recent quarters, a less discussed problem seems to be declining contribution from the US.
Singapore revenue contribution to Nvidia is rising qoq to 19%, while the US declined to 43% from 52%.
In absolute number, US revenue declined from $13.5bn to $13bn and Singapore rose from $4bn to $5.6bn.
Sure Nvidia says it’s not an indication for the end location. But Malaysia/Indonesia is likely, where end users include ByteDance or US CSP services (whose end user is ByteDance).
See the other post for ByteDance capex – it’s probably $10bn+ per year on data centers, or 1GW of IT load assuming $1mn per MW.
