1.58-million-staff Amazon will soon have more Nvidia GPUs than employees — AWS to buy more than 3 million additional chips before 2029 in addition to thousands of existing H100, H200

• AWS deal with Nvidia adds 2 million Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, and Rubin Ultra GPUs, on top of more than 1 million committed in March 2026
• Totals more than 3 million Nvidia GPUs due before 2029, a ~1.9x multiple for each of Amazon’s roughly 1.58 million employees
• Nvidia’s CFO has said deliveries start this quarter, not in 2027, but neither company says what it counts as a GPU or what the deal costs

Amazon ended 2025 with about 1.58 million full- and part-time employees, most in fulfillment centers and delivery operations, with a much smaller share working in its AWS data center division (estimated at around 246,000).

By mid-2028, Amazon Web Services expects to have taken delivery of roughly twice that many new Nvidia GPUs, based on a recent deal it made with Nvidia.
