Amazon’s Graviton & Trainium Chips Could Jump from $20B to $50B
Amazon’s custom Graviton and Trainium chips generate $20 billion in annual AWS revenue and could reach $50 billion if sold externally. The company plans a standalone chip business but will wait until production capacity exceeds AWS demand before launching third-party sales.
1. Standalone Chip Business Plans
Amazon is preparing to spin off its custom Graviton and Trainium processors into a standalone chip unit for third-party sales, leveraging designs built for internal AWS workloads.
2. Revenue Potential and Capacity Constraints
The AWS division currently uses these chips at a $20 billion annual run rate; if sold externally, analysts estimate the business could expand to $50 billion, but Amazon must first scale production capacity beyond its own requirements.
