## Summary

Epoch AI estimates that the computing capacity of AI chips sold worldwide is doubling roughly every 9 months. The estimate uses quarterly sales figures from six AI chip designers: Nvidia, Google, AMD, Amazon, Huawei and Cambricon. Capacity is measured in H100-equivalents (H100e), with an exponential trend fitted to the capacity added each quarter.
