## Summary

Epoch AI says the computing power of AI chips sold each quarter has grown 2.5× per year since the start of 2024, down from about 6× in 2023 when Nvidia's H100 led. Some evidence suggests growth slowed further, but Epoch notes quarterly sales are noisy and its data ends as Nvidia begins shipping its next-generation chips.

The computing power of AI chips sold each quarter has grown 2.5× per year since the start of 2024. That’s down from roughly 6× in 2023, led by Nvidia’s then-new H100 GPU.

Some evidence suggests growth slowed further. But quarterly sales are noisy, and our data ends just as Nvidia begins shipping its next-generation chips, a move that has historically spiked sales. This could be a lull between generations.
